Listed at $1,288,800. Going by how homes in Newtonbrook West and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 96%, 17 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.24M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.16M to $1.40M.
Independent value check: $1.15M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 11% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.08M and $1.21M).
Why $1.15M. The typical detached home sold in Newtonbrook West over the past year went for about $1.19M (79 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 700 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,100 to 1,500.
- ▲ Raises itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $8,064 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,100.
- ▼ Lowers it slightly1 garage and 5 total parking spaces, against 2 and 5 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.24M, from 17 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.9 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 17 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,841/sqft against an area asking average of $1,058/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed 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 Newtonbrook West: 44 of the 193 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 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.

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.
