Listed at $929,000, this home is about 31% below comparable homes, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in York University Heights, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 34 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 34 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $766K, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
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 $833K
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $788K
That comparable adjusts to $788K; the $1.35M estimate above is the median of all 34 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
The assigned public school is Lamberton Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Sentinel Rd at Grandravine Dr is about a 3-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.35M, median of 34 comparables.

Investor snapshot
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.
