Listed at $999,000. Going by how homes in West Shore and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 10 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $971K, if it sells. A realistic range is $910K to $1.09M.
Independent value check: no figure for this home. Going only by the sales record, our model lands more than 25% below the ask. At that distance an automated figure has rarely been close to the eventual sale price, so we are not printing one. The usual reason is something the record cannot show: a rebuild, a second unit, or a lot or setting unlike the homes around it.
Longer on the market than typical. 38 days on the market against about 20 for homes like it here, and asking 25% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $971K, from 10 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 3.9 months of inventory: 13 detached homes for sale in the area against 10 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $768/sqft against an area asking average of $655/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 2 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 West Shore: 19 of the 56 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,895 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 Pickering.
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 10 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $836K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in West Shore, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 10 comparable homes that sold in West Shore over the past two years, from 138 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 $799K, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $732/sqft; this home lists at $768/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

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 West Shore (19 of 56 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,895 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,895 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 12 whole-home leases in West Shore signed at a median of $2,771 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,812. 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.
