Listed at $675,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $574K, so the ask is about 18% above what similar homes have sold for.
If it sells at this ask, expect about $703K, typically $655K to $742K: that is where homes here have closed against their asks in the last 90 days (8 closings).
The ask and what recent sales support disagree. When they differ this much, the asking price has been the closer guide about 87% of the time. Recent GTA homes first listed this far above their automated estimate sold at about 95% of the original ask, in a median 36 days, 26% of them after a price reduction (750 sales).
One thing to square: the homes for sale nearby are asking more than this one. My estimate is built on recent closings, and around here sellers have been asking more than buyers end up paying. So this can be the least expensive home on the street and still be priced ahead of where sales actually land.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $574K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 2.6 months of inventory: 7 condo townhouse homes for sale in the area against 8 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $614/sqft against an area asking average of $571/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
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 and this building.
It never sees the asking price. The 27 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $535K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal

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 8 whole-home leases in Dorset Park signed at a median of $2,929 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,630. 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.
