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 22 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $773K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights3 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle

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