Listed at $899,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $817K, so the ask is about 10% above what similar homes have sold for.
If it sells at this ask, expect about $896K, typically $853K to $939K: that is where homes here have closed against their asks in the last 90 days (32 closings).
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 $817K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 0.7 months of inventory: 7 detached homes for sale in the area against 32 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $692/sqft against an area asking average of $740/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 3 bed 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 Wexford-Maryvale: 90 of the 284 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. 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 140 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $870K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($692/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
Based on 140 comparable homes that sold in Wexford-Maryvale over the past two years, from 254 closings there.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Wexford-Maryvale (90 of 284 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 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 18 whole-home leases in Wexford-Maryvale signed at a median of $2,919 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,095. 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.
