Listed at $419,000, this home is about 5% below comparable homes, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Below comparable homes on total price, yet the price per square foot ($1,679/sqft) is above the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in South Riverdale, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
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 $472K, a close match.
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 $405K
- Adjusts to $405K
That comparable adjusts to $405K; the $439K 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.
Its public catchment (Morse Street Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. 250 Carlaw Ave is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

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.
