Listed at $1,250,000. Going by how homes in West Shore and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 10 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.21M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.14M to $1.37M.
Independent value check: $1.14M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 9% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.07M and $1.19M).
Why $1.14M. The typical detached home sold in West Shore over the past year went for about $865K (59 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $8,465 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,400.
Longer on the market than typical. 95 days on the market against about 20 for homes like it here, and asking 10% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.21M, from 10 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 3.9 months of inventory: 13 detached homes for sale in the area against 10 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $714/sqft against an area asking average of $659/sqft.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. A premium that comparable-sales math under-prices, so read the estimate as a floor.
- Walk-up basement. Extra light, usable space, and income potential, so the estimate is a conservative floor for it.
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 10 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.07M. 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
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in West Shore, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 10 comparable homes that sold in West Shore over the past two years, from 138 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.14M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $750/sqft; this home lists at $714/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

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 8 whole-home leases in West Shore signed at a median of $3,219 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,202. 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.
