Listed at $2,049,000, this home is right in line with comparable homes. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In High Park-Swansea lately, sellers have been getting about 104% of asking and homes sell in about 19 days.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in High Park-Swansea, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 39 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 39 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.64M, a bit lower.
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, sold for $2.24M
- Bedrooms −$28K
- Bathrooms +$56K
- Adjusts to $2.27M
That comparable adjusts to $2.27M; the $1.97M estimate above is the median of all 39 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.

Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
