Listed at $1,078,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with 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 10 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 10 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $894K, a bit lower.
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 $989K
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms −$30K
- Adjusts to $929K
That comparable adjusts to $929K; the $1.08M estimate above is the median of all 10 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
The assigned public school is Ellesmere-Statton Public 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, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Birchmount Rd at Exford Dr North Side is about a 2-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.08M, median of 10 comparables.
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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Addition / added square footage: more space lifts value when it is permitted and well integrated, verify the permits.
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow.
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city.

Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
