Listed at $599,000, and my independent estimate is right in line with comparable homes.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $593K, median of 14 comparables.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $352/sqft against an area asking average of $456/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 14 most comparable recent listings nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single listing.
It’s grounded in comparable active listings. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $713K, a bit higher.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On location, this is a more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Altona NB @ Shadow is about a 1-minute walk away. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Rouge Park, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 14 comparable homes nearby.

Per square foot, these ask about $473/sqft; this home lists at $352/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
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 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.
