Listed at $1,895/mo, this rental is right in line with comparable rentals. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In High Park-Swansea lately, landlords have been getting about 99% of asking and homes lease in about 27 days.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in High Park-Swansea, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 43 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 43 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 $1,600/mo
- Adjusts to $1,600/mo
That comparable adjusts to $1,600/mo; the $2,014/mo estimate above is the median of all 43 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.
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.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2,014/mo, median of 43 comparables.
