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 17 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.49M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
