Listed at $8,000/mo, this rental is tracking about 15% above a wider set of rentals, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 12 similar rentals nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 12 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.
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, listed at $3,850/mo
- Size difference +$2,156/mo
- Bedrooms +$450/mo
- Bathrooms +$300/mo
- Adjusts to $6,756/mo
That comparable adjusts to $6,756/mo; the $6,979/mo estimate above is the median of all 12 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are 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. Plains Rd at Coxwell Ave is about a 2-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
