Why $1.38M. 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:
- ▲ Raises itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $7,179 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,400.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.38M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 5 months of inventory: 5 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 $685/sqft against an area asking average of $800/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed walk-out 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 Dufferin Grove: 17 of the 54 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,650 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 16 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.34M. 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
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle
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
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Dufferin Grove, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 16 comparable homes that sold in Dufferin Grove over the past two years, from 53 closings there.
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 $1.38M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $766/sqft; this home lists at $685/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

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 9 whole-home leases in Dufferin Grove signed at a median of $3,774 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,466. 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.
