Listed at $920,000. Going by how homes in Clairlea-Birchmount and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 7 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $900K, if it sells. A realistic range is $843K to $1.01M.
Independent value check: $836K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 9% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $783K and $876K).
Why $836K. The typical semi-detached home sold in Clairlea-Birchmount over the past year went for about $793K (28 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it4+2 bedrooms and 3 baths, against 3+1 and 2 typically.
- ▲ 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. Likely closing about $900K, from 7 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 4.3 months of inventory: 10 semi-detached homes for sale in the area against 7 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $526/sqft against an area asking average of $671/sqft.
- 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. In Clairlea-Birchmount basements rarely rent out (3 of 17 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
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 7 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $723K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Separate entrance / basement suite: rental or in-law income potential, if it is legally registered and retrofit-compliant. Income potential
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver

The assigned public school is Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($526/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Clairlea-Birchmount, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 7 comparable homes that sold in Clairlea-Birchmount over the past two years, from 53 closings there.

Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 5 whole-home leases in Clairlea-Birchmount signed at a median of $3,250 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,725. 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.
