Listed at $1,168,000, this home is within the range of comparable homes, on the lower side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Weston, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.03M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look. 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, listed at $999K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $984K
That comparable adjusts to $984K; the $1.35M estimate above is the median of all 5 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
The assigned public school is Lord Dufferin Junior and Senior Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Queen St East at Church St is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.35M, median of 5 comparables.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Separate entrance / basement suite: rental or in-law income potential, if it is legally registered and retrofit-compliant.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment.

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.
