Listed at $999,000. Going by how homes in Willowdale West and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 96%, 18 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $963K, if it sells. A realistic range is $902K to $1.09M.
Independent value check: $1.10M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 10% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.03M and $1.15M).
Why $1.10M. The typical detached home sold in Willowdale West over the past year went for about $1.46M (74 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $7,239 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $8,300.
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 1,100 to 1,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▼ Lowers itThe listing presents it as a home to renovate or rebuild.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $963K, from 18 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.8 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 18 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $768/sqft against an area asking average of $1,082/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Willowdale West: 27 of the 155 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,850 a month. That makes the suite real income. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
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 18 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.18M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Separate entrance / basement suite: rental or in-law income potential, if it is legally registered and retrofit-compliant. Income potential
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
