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 12 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.61M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
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 12 comparable homes that sold in Cabbagetown-South St. James Town over the past two years, from 13 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.56M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,062/sqft; this home lists at $991/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
