Why $1.36M. The typical semi-detached home sold in Birchcliffe-Cliffside over the past year went for about $875K (22 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,920 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $4,200.
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIt is 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,100 to 1,500.
- ▲ Raises it4+2 bedrooms and 5 baths, against 3+1 and 2 typically.

Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.36M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $533/sqft against an area asking average of $791/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. In Birchcliffe-Cliffside basements rarely rent out (2 of 10 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. 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 5 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.53M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow. Lifestyle
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle

Based on 5 comparable homes that sold in Birchcliffe-Cliffside over the past two years, from 32 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest semi-detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.36M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $822/sqft; this home lists at $533/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Birchcliffe-Cliffside basements rarely rent out (2 of 10 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
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.
