Rooms
Listed at $1,579,000, and my independent estimate is right in line with comparable homes.
In Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction lately, sellers get about 103% of asking; homes sell in ~25 days.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.68M, median of 34 comparables.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 34 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), 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 $1.20M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
What the listing highlights4 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties. Value driver
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city. Worth verifying

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
