Listed at $3,000,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $2.80M, typically $2.16M to $4.21M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.33M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
A price cut is the likelier next move. 47 days on the market against about 20 for homes like it here, and asking 7% above where comparable closings put it. That is leverage for a buyer: offer with it in mind rather than waiting for the cut, since a reduction brings new eyes with it.
Second read, from the city assessment: $3.62M. That is about 55% above the comparable-sales figure. When my two methods disagree this much, the answer usually sits between them and something about this home is not in the comparables (the lot, the condition, a rebuild). I would want to see it before leaning on either number.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $2.80M, median of 10 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 $706/sqft against an area asking average of $697/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 10 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 $3.62M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.

Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Yorkdale-Glen Park, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 10 comparable homes that sold in Yorkdale-Glen Park over the past two years, from 97 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $2.33M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $653/sqft; this home lists at $706/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Yorkdale-Glen Park (15 of 78 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersThe last 38 whole-home leases in Yorkdale-Glen Park signed at a median of $2,892 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $4,344. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
