Listed at $1,799,800. Going by how homes in Parkwoods-Donalda and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 11 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.76M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.65M to $1.98M.
Independent value check: $1.80M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself in line with the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.69M and $1.89M).
Why $1.80M. The typical detached home sold in Parkwoods-Donalda over the past year went for about $1.30M (70 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $13,634 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,200.
- ▲ Raises it slightly2 garage and 4 total parking spaces, against 1 and 5 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.76M, from 11 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1.4 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 11 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,028/sqft against an area asking average of $1,103/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 91 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.
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 11 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.65M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Parkwoods-Donalda basements rarely rent out (8 of 91 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 42 whole-home leases in Parkwoods-Donalda signed at a median of $4,262 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,607. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
