Listed at $899,999 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.01M, typically $867K to $1.24M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.25M, so the seller is asking less than the comparables suggest: either they want a quick, clean sale or something about the home is not in the comparables. Worth seeing before you offer.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.49M. That is about 19% above the comparable-sales figure. When my two methods disagree this much, the answer usually sits between them and something about this home is not in the comparables (the lot, the condition, a rebuild). I would want to see it before leaning on either number.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.01M, median of 36 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 5 months of inventory: 5 townhouse 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 $692/sqft against an area asking average of $839/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 36 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, lot frontage, a ravine backing, an inground pool), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.49M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Little Portugal, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 36 comparable homes that sold in Little Portugal over the past two years, from 44 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest townhouse listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.25M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $828/sqft; this home lists at $692/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
