Listed at $1,150,000. Going by how homes in Duffin Heights and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 5 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.13M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.06M to $1.27M.
Independent value check: $1.10M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 5% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.03M and $1.15M).
Why $1.10M. The typical detached home sold in Duffin Heights over the past year went for about $968K (14 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $8,773 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,400.
- ▲ Raises it2 garage and 5 total parking spaces, against 1 and 3 typically.
- ▲ Raises itIt is 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,750 to 2,250.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.13M, from 5 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 3.6 months of inventory: 6 detached homes for sale in the area against 5 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $511/sqft against an area asking average of $493/sqft.
- Corner lot. Two street frontages: more to landscape, shovel and mow, and more exposure to traffic, wind and headlights at night. Buyers price that against an interior lot on the same street, so I read this one on the cautious side and confirm the setting in person.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 2 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 Duffin Heights: 6 of the 25 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,525 a month. That makes the suite real income. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Pickering.
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 $1.09M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Talk about the numbersThe last 12 whole-home leases in Duffin Heights signed at a median of $3,000 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,574. 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.
