Listed at $1,695/mo, this rental is about 24% above what comparable rentals suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In Mount Dennis lately, landlords have been getting about 97% of asking and homes lease in about 36 days.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Mount Dennis, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 42 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 42 recently leased comparable homes — actual closing prices, not asks — adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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, leased for $1,850/mo
- Adjusts to $1,850/mo
That comparable adjusts to $1,850/mo; the $1,364/mo estimate above is the median of all 42 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual lease prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Condition, finishes, and exact inclusions are still my in-person call.
The assigned public school is Weston Collegiate Institute. 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. Bus stop is about a 2-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1,364/mo, median of 42 comparables.
