Listed at $1,930,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this home around $1.40M, so the ask is about 38% above them. A gap this wide is more often a limit of an automated comparison than a fact about the home, so treat the figure as a starting point, not a verdict.
Compared as a project. The listing presents this home as one to renovate or rebuild, so the finished homes among its comparable sales were adjusted for that before comparing.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.40M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 1.2 months of inventory: 10 detached homes for sale in the area against 25 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $858/sqft against an area asking average of $615/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
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 30 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.30M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights3 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
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying
