Listed at $599,000. Going by how homes in South East and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 31 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $589K, if it sells. A realistic range is $552K to $664K.
Independent value check: $678K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 13% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $635K and $710K).
Why $678K. The typical detached home sold in South East over the past year went for about $874K (143 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,330 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,400.
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 700 to 1,100 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▼ Lowers it3 bedrooms and 2 baths, against 3+1 and 3 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $589K, from 31 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.5 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 31 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $666/sqft against an area asking average of $648/sqft.
- Corner lot. Two street frontages: more to landscape, shovel and mow, and more exposure to traffic, wind and headlights at night. Buyers price that against an interior lot on the same street, so I read this one on the cautious side and confirm the setting in person.
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 31 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $692K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

- Corner lot: more light and frontage, sometimes at the cost of privacy. Weigh carefully
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Below comparable homes on total price, yet the price per square foot ($666/sqft) is in line with the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in South East (41 of 136 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,700 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,700 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 22 whole-home leases in South East signed at a median of $2,846 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,535. 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.
