Listed at $2,195,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $2.24M, typically $2.05M to $2.36M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.36M, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $2.20M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.24M, median of 16 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.6 months of inventory: 7 detached homes for sale in the area against 13 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $675/sqft against an area asking average of $632/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment with a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Yorkdale-Glen Park: 15 of the 78 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 a month. That makes the suite real income, and comparable-sales math under-prices it, so read the estimate as a floor. 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
I take the 16 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, lot frontage, a ravine backing, an inground pool), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $2.20M, a close match.

- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow. Lifestyle
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully
