Why $1.21M. The typical semi-detached home sold in Dufferin Grove over the past year went for about $1.28M (22 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,525 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,400.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.21M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 6 months of inventory: 6 semi-detached homes for sale in the area against 3 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $743/sqft against an area asking average of $779/sqft.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 40 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.08M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Brock Public School, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($743/sqft) is in line with the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 3 homes sold on this street over the past two years, plus 2 nearby in Dufferin Grove, from 53 closings in Dufferin Grove.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest semi-detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.21M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $747/sqft; this home lists at $743/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
