Listed at $1,499,880. Going by how homes in Broadview North and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 99%, 9 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.49M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.39M to $1.68M.
Independent value check: $1.62M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 8% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.52M and $1.70M).
Why $1.62M. The typical detached home sold in Broadview North over the past year went for about $1.56M (28 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $8,256 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,300.
- ▲ Raises itIt is 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▲ Raises it slightlyIts lot is 33 by 150 ft; the typical lot sold here is 26 by 123.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.49M, from 9 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $667/sqft against an area asking average of $849/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed walk-out 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 Broadview North: 11 of the 52 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,650 a month. That makes the suite real income. 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 9 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.47M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
The assigned public school is Westwood Middle 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
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Broadview North, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 9 comparable homes that sold in Broadview North over the past two years, from 58 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.62M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $799/sqft; this home lists at $667/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
