Listed at $1,489,000. Going by how homes in Rural Pickering have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 41 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.44M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.35M to $1.63M.
Independent value check: $1.38M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 7% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.29M and $1.45M).
Why $1.38M. The typical detached home sold in Rural Pickering over the past year went for about $1.13M (138 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $11,220 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $8,300.
- ▲ Raises itIt is 3,000 to 3,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 2,000 to 2,500.
- ▲ Raises it slightly5+3 bedrooms and 6 baths, against 4+1 and 3 typically.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.44M, from 41 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.4 months of inventory: 6 detached homes for sale in the area against 41 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $458/sqft against an area asking average of $899/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 3 bed walk-out basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Rural Pickering: 31 of the 300 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,850 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.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.

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.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($458/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 Rural Pickering, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 41 comparable homes that sold in Rural Pickering over the past two years, from 249 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.38M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $752/sqft; this home lists at $458/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Rural Pickering (31 of 300 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,850 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,850 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
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 143 whole-home leases in Rural Pickering signed at a median of $3,578 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,709. 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.
