Listed at $799,900 with no offer date. Homes here have been closing close to ask, so my read is $787K, typically $767K to $797K. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $770K, which supports the ask, so this is a firm read.
Compared as a project. The listing presents this home as one to renovate or rebuild, so the finished homes among its comparable sales were adjusted for that before comparing.
Longer on the market than typical. 102 days on the market against about 26 for homes like it here, and asking 4% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $787K, from 24 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1 months of inventory: 8 detached homes for sale in the area against 24 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 $722/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
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 24 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $785K. 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
- Addition / added square footage: more space lifts value when it is permitted and well integrated, verify the permits. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver

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 numbersThe last 42 whole-home leases in Bendale signed at a median of $2,601 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,766. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
