Listed at $1,799,000. Going by how homes in Willowdale East and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 32 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.75M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.64M to $1.98M.
Independent value check: $1.59M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 11% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.49M and $1.67M).
Why $1.59M. The typical detached home sold in Willowdale East over the past year went for about $2.29M (110 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers it stronglyIt is 700 to 1,100 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 3,000 to 3,500.

- ▼ Lowers itThe listing presents it as a home to renovate or rebuild.
- ▲ Raises it slightly3+4 bedrooms and 7 baths, against 4+1 and 5 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.75M, from 32 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 5 months of inventory: 53 detached homes for sale in the area against 32 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,999/sqft against an area asking average of $862/sqft.
- Walk-up basement. Extra light, usable space, and income potential, so the estimate is a conservative floor for it.
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 32 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.62M. 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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Willowdale East, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.

Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
