Listed at $2,695,000 with no offer date. Homes here have been closing close to ask, so my read is $2.64M, typically $2.53M to $2.68M. Comparable closings on their own put this home around $2.73M, which supports the ask, so this is a firm read.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $2.64M, from 28 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1.9 months of inventory: 18 detached homes for sale in the area against 28 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $829/sqft against an area asking average of $799/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed walk-out basement apartment with a separate entrance. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Islington-City Centre West: 27 of the 165 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $2,100 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.
- Inground pool. Priced into the comparison on the assumption it is clean and modern. A pool costs more to build than resale pays back, and condition is the in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 28 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $2.54M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights3 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Islington-City Centre West (27 of 165 recent detached leases were basement units, around $2,100 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $2,100 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 15 whole-home leases in Islington-City Centre West signed at a median of $7,217 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $8,435. 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.
