Listed at $989,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $858K, so the ask is about 15% above what similar homes have sold for.
If it sells at this ask, expect about $973K, typically $948K to $985K: that is where homes here have closed against their asks in the last 90 days (24 closings).
The ask and what recent sales support disagree. When they differ this much, the asking price has been the closer guide about 87% of the time. Recent GTA homes first listed this far above their automated estimate sold at about 95% of the original ask, in a median 36 days, 26% of them after a price reduction (750 sales).
Longer on the market than typical. 69 days on the market against about 26 for homes like it here, and asking 15% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $858K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 1.3 months of inventory: 10 detached homes for sale in the area against 24 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $761/sqft against an area asking average of $723/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 3 bed basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Bendale: 62 of the 215 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
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 106 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $855K. 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
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
The assigned public school is Knob Hill Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($761/sqft) is in line with the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
Based on 106 comparable homes that sold in Bendale over the past two years, from 210 closings there.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Bendale (62 of 215 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
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 19 whole-home leases in Bendale signed at a median of $3,006 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,130. 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.
