Listed at $1,495/mo, this rental is about 34% below comparable rentals, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Based on 7 similar rentals nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 7 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $1,800/mo
- Adjusts to $1,800/mo
That comparable adjusts to $1,800/mo; the $2,250/mo estimate above is the median of all 7 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not leased-deal prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are my in-person call.
Its public catchment (Parkdale Collegiate Institute) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Transit is limited nearby. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2,250/mo, median of 7 comparables.
