Listed at $1,359,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.28M, typically $1.16M to $1.33M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $1.10M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.22M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.28M, median of 8 comparables.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,045/sqft against an area asking average of $740/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 8 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, lot frontage, a ravine backing, an inground pool), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.22M, a close match.

Its public catchment (Kew Beach Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in The Beaches, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 8 comparable homes that sold in The Beaches over the past two years, from 20 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest townhouse listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.10M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $785/sqft; this home lists at $1,045/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
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 7 whole-home leases in The Beaches signed at a median of $4,700 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,575. 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.
