Listed at $1,049,999, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 64 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 64 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $993K, a bit lower.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $1.59M
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Adjusts to $1.56M
That comparable adjusts to $1.56M; the $1.20M estimate above is the median of all 64 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Mohawk at Magnolia is about a 3-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.20M, median of 64 comparables.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature.
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
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 numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
