Listed at $1,388,000. Going by how homes in Roncesvalles and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 102%, 9 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.41M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.32M to $1.59M.
Independent value check: $1.19M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 14% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.12M and $1.25M).
Why $1.19M. The typical semi-detached home sold in Roncesvalles over the past year went for about $1.49M (36 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers it stronglyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,739 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $7,000.
- ▼ Lowers itIt is 1,100 to 1,500 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,500 to 2,000.
- ▲ Raises it3+1 bedrooms and 4 baths, against 3+1 and 3 typically.
Longer on the market than typical. 157 days on the market against about 16 for homes like it here, and asking 16% above where comparable closings put it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.41M, from 9 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,068/sqft against an area asking average of $866/sqft.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 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 Roncesvalles: 11 of the 41 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 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 Toronto.
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 9 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.32M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Roncesvalles, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 9 comparable homes that sold in Roncesvalles over the past two years, from 86 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest semi-detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $1.19M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $795/sqft; this home lists at $1,068/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Roncesvalles (11 of 41 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 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 6 whole-home leases in Roncesvalles signed at a median of $5,288 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,747. 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.
