Listed at $799,999, about 32% below our estimate of $1.17M (homes like it typically land between $1.10M and $1.23M).
Why $1.17M. 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:
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 1,100 to 1,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▼ Lowers it slightly4 bedrooms and 2 baths, against 3+1 and 3 typically.
- ▼ Lowers it slightlyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $6,062 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,400.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.17M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 6 months of inventory: 6 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 $615/sqft against an area asking average of $800/sqft.
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 30 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.01M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights4 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- 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
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city. Worth verifying

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 30 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 $1.17M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $772/sqft; this home lists at $615/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
