$1,473/moest. value

Listed at $1,800/mo, this rental is within the range of comparable rentals, on the higher side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

In East York lately, landlords have been getting about 98% of asking and homes lease in about 30 days.

There were not many closely comparable homes right in East York, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.

Based on 52 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 52 recently leased comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.

How I got there

Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.

  • Closest comparable, leased for $1,495/mo
  • Adjusts to $1,495/mo

That comparable adjusts to $1,495/mo; the $1,473/mo estimate above is the median of all 52 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual lease prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.

The assigned public school is Diefenbaker Elementary School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.

On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Coxwell Avenue is about a 2-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.

  • Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
  • Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
  • Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow.
