Listed at $999,000. Going by how homes in High Park-Swansea and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 99%, 18 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $987K, if it sells. A realistic range is $925K to $1.11M.
Independent value check: $1.29M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 29% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.21M and $1.35M).
Why $1.29M. The typical detached home sold in High Park-Swansea over the past year went for about $1.93M (91 sales). What sets this one apart:

- ▲ Raises it stronglyThe listing describes it as fully renovated or newly built.
- ▼ Lowers itIts lot is 22 by 95 ft; the typical lot sold here is 30 by 120.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $987K, from 18 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1.5 months of inventory: 9 detached homes for sale in the area against 18 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,110/sqft against an area asking average of $1,349/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in High Park-Swansea: 18 of the 140 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,825 a month. That makes the suite real income. 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
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 18 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.48M. 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
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying
- Currently tenanted: confirm the lease terms and vacant-possession timing before closing. Worth verifying

On schools, this address is zoned for Humberside Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
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 High Park-Swansea, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 18 comparable homes that sold in High Park-Swansea over the past two years, from 180 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 $1.29M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $1,620/sqft; this home lists at $1,110/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.
