Listed at $885,000, this home is about 17% below comparable homes, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $923K, 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 $960K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $945K
That comparable adjusts to $945K; the $1.07M estimate above is the median of all 5 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.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Brock Street Southbound @ Starr (North side stop) is about a 2-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.07M, median of 5 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.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- 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.
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

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.
