Listed at $789,900. Going by how homes in Keswick South have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 43 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $762K, if it sells. A realistic range is $714K to $859K.
Independent value check: $805K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself in line with the ask (homes like it typically land between $754K and $844K).
Why $805K. The typical detached home sold in Keswick South over the past year went for about $800K (168 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises itThe listing describes it as fully renovated or newly built.
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 1,100 to 1,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▲ Raises it slightlyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,132 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $5,000.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $762K, from 43 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.8 months of inventory: 11 detached homes for sale in the area against 43 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $608/sqft against an area asking average of $744/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Keswick South basements rarely rent out (21 of 238 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 Town of Georgina.
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 43 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $738K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

About the suite: in Keswick South basements rarely rent out (21 of 238 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
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 45 whole-home leases in Keswick South signed at a median of $2,966 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,115. 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.
