Listed at $1,960,000. Going by how homes in Thornlea and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 6 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.90M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.78M to $2.15M.
Independent value check: $2.13M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 9% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $2.00M and $2.23M).
Why $2.13M. The typical detached home sold in Thornlea over the past year went for about $1.58M (32 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $11,821 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,900.
- ▲ Raises it4+3 bedrooms and 6 baths, against 4+1 and 4 typically.
- ▲ Raises it slightlyThe listing presents it as a home to renovate or rebuild.
- ▲ Raises it slightlyIt is 3,000 to 3,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 2,500 to 3,000.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.90M, from 6 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 4.5 months of inventory: 9 detached homes for sale in the area against 6 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $603/sqft against an area asking average of $686/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 3 bed walk-out basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Thornlea: 8 of the 43 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,925 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 Markham.
- 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.
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 6 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $2.14M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Thornlea (8 of 43 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,925 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,925 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 16 whole-home leases in Thornlea signed at a median of $4,596 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $5,209. 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.
