Listed at $849,999, this home is right in line with comparable homes. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In Dorset Park lately, sellers have been getting about 99% of asking and homes sell in about 24 days.
Based on 85 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 85 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $844K, 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, sold for $710K
- Bedrooms +$27K
- Adjusts to $737K
That comparable adjusts to $737K; the $822K estimate above is the median of all 85 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Dorset Park Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $822K, median of 85 comparables.

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.
