Listed at $1,475,000. Going by how homes in Royal Orchard and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 11 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.44M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.35M to $1.62M.
Independent value check: $1.56M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 6% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.46M and $1.63M).
Why $1.56M. The typical detached home sold in Royal Orchard over the past year went for about $1.33M (45 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises itIt is 2,500 to 3,000 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▲ Raises itThe listing describes it as fully renovated or newly built.
- ▲ Raises itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $7,171 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $6,500.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.44M, from 11 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1.4 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 11 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $536/sqft against an area asking average of $742/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In Royal Orchard basements rarely rent out (5 of 59 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 Markham.

About the suite: in Royal Orchard basements rarely rent out (5 of 59 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 7 whole-home leases in Royal Orchard signed at a median of $4,734 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,768. 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.
