Listed at $879,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $872K, typically $786K to $984K. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $855K, which agrees with the ask, so this is a firm read.
Second read, from the city assessment: $905K. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $872K, median of 57 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.4 months of inventory: 5 detached homes for sale in the area against 11 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $977/sqft against an area asking average of $1,630/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 57 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 $905K, a close match.
What the listing highlights4 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city. Worth verifying
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying

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.

Investor snapshot
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 26 whole-home leases in Briar Hill-Belgravia signed at a median of $2,866 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,667. 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.
