Listed at $1,599,000. Going by how homes in Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 100%, 18 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $1.60M, if it sells. A realistic range is $1.50M to $1.81M.
Independent value check: $1.34M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 16% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.26M and $1.41M).
Why $1.34M. The typical semi-detached home sold in Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction over the past year went for about $1.21M (90 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▼ Lowers itIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $5,064 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $5,600.
- ▲ Raises itIt is 1,500 to 2,000 sq ft; the typical home sold here is 1,100 to 1,500.
- ▲ Raises it3 bedrooms and 4 baths, against 3+1 and 3 typically.
- ▲ Raises itThe listing describes it as fully renovated or newly built.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $1.60M, from 18 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 0.8 months of inventory: 5 semi-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 $914/sqft against an area asking average of $990/sqft.
- Walk-up basement. Extra light, usable space, and income potential, so the estimate is a conservative floor for it.
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 $1.12M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights5 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted. Value driver
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Addition / added square footage: more space lifts value when it is permitted and well integrated, verify the permits. Value driver
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties. Value driver
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
