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 26 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.11M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights5 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
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow. Lifestyle
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. 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 ($808/sqft) is in line with the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 3 homes sold on this street over the past two years, plus 2 nearby in Birchcliffe-Cliffside, from 32 closings in Birchcliffe-Cliffside.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest semi-detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.13M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $753/sqft; this home lists at $808/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
