Listed at $895,000. Recent sales of homes like it put this one around $793K, so the ask is about 13% above what similar homes have sold for.
One thing to square: the homes for sale nearby are asking more than this one. My estimate is built on recent closings, and around here sellers have been asking more than buyers end up paying. So this can be the least expensive home on the street and still be priced ahead of where sales actually land.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $793K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $421/sqft against an area asking average of $575/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 and this building.
It never sees the asking price. The 16 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $845K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
On schools, this address is zoned for Richmond Hill HS, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($421/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 Westbrook, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 16 comparable homes that sold in Westbrook over the past two years, from 18 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest condo townhouse listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $793K, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $470/sqft; this home lists at $421/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
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 9 whole-home leases in Westbrook signed at a median of $3,997 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,904. 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.
