Listed at $498,000, this home is about 14% below comparable homes, worth a close look. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In High Park-Swansea lately, sellers have been getting about 96% of asking and homes sell in about 37 days.
Based on 76 similar homes that recently sold nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 76 recently sold comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $473K, 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 $555K
- Adjusts to $555K
That comparable adjusts to $555K; the $580K estimate above is the median of all 76 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.
On schools, this address is zoned for Humberside Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Windermere Avenue is about a 1-minute walk away.

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.
