Custom built by the original owners with the quality and craftsmanship that still shines through today, 16 Squires Ave is a truly rare opportunity.

Listed at $1,849,000. Going by how homes in O'Connor-Parkview and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 14 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.81M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.70M to $2.04M.
Independent value check: no figure for this home. Going only by the sales record, our model lands more than 25% below the ask. At that distance an automated figure has rarely been close to the eventual sale price, so we are not printing one. The usual reason is something the record cannot show: a rebuild, a second unit, or a lot or setting unlike the homes around it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.81M, from 14 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 2.6 months of inventory: 12 detached homes for sale in the area against 14 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,057/sqft against an area asking average of $819/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in O'Connor-Parkview: 23 of the 117 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,650 a month. That makes the suite real income. 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 14 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.05M. 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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully

The suite is real income here: basements rent in O'Connor-Parkview (23 of 117 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,650 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,650 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
