Listed at $1,499,900, and my independent estimate is within the range of comparable homes, on the higher side.
In Clairlea-Birchmount lately, sellers get about 101% of asking; homes sell in ~20 days.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.35M, median of 9 comparables.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 9 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.05M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights3 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city. Worth verifying
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
