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 and this building.

It never sees the asking price. The 85 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $621K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
