Listed at $1,248,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $1.10M, so the ask is about 14% above what similar homes have sold for.
If it sells at this ask, expect about $1.23M, typically $1.20M to $1.24M: that is where homes here have closed against their asks in the last 90 days (24 closings).
Longer on the market than typical. 54 days on the market against about 26 for homes like it here, and asking 14% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.10M, 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 $713/sqft against an area asking average of $727/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 3 bed walk-out basement apartment with 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.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.
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 83 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.05M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Walk-out basement: natural light and strong in-law or income potential. Income potential
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying

The assigned public school is Edgewood 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 ($713/sqft) is in line with the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
Based on 83 comparable homes that sold in Bendale over the past two years, from 210 closings there.

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 17 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 $3,553. 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.
