$1,244/moest. value

Listed at $1,600/mo, this rental is within the range of comparable rentals, on the higher side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.

In Islington-City Centre West lately, landlords have been getting about 99% of asking and homes lease in about 24 days.

There were not many closely comparable homes right in Islington-City Centre West, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.

Based on 17 similar rentals that recently leased nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 17 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 $2,000/mo
  • Adjusts to $2,000/mo

That comparable adjusts to $2,000/mo; the $1,244/mo estimate above is the median of all 17 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 Bloorlea Middle 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 more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Echo Valley Road is about a 1-minute walk away. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
