Listed at $1,549,000, about 4% above our estimate of $1.49M (homes like it typically land between $1.39M and $1.56M).
Why $1.49M. The typical semi-detached home sold in South Riverdale over the past year went for about $1.40M (108 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $6,538 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $5,600.
- ▲ Raises itThe listing describes it as fully renovated or newly built.
- ▲ Raises it slightlyIt is 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,100 to 1,500.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.49M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 2.9 months of inventory: 20 semi-detached homes for sale in the area against 21 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $885/sqft against an area asking average of $960/sqft.
- basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. A self-contained lower level is a premium that comparable-sales math under-prices, 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.
- Park / green-space backing. The listing says this home backs onto or abuts a park or green space. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, is my in-person call.
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 5 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.59M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in South Riverdale, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 5 homes sold on this street over the past two years, from 197 closings in South Riverdale.
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 $1.49M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $868/sqft; this home lists at $885/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
