About this home
Excellent investment opportunity in a prime Hamilton location, just a short walk to McMaster University and close to all major amenities including shopping, transit, and dining. This licensed rental property with the City of Hamilton is an ideal turnkey investment, currently tenanted and generating income. The property has been well maintained with several key updates completed, including new eavestroughs, gutters, and downspouts (2020), a new laundry dryer (2024), and professionally renovated staircases from the main floor to both the second floor and basement (2018). A 7x7 shed was added in 2019 for additional storage, and all hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were recently replaced in January 2026 for added safety and compliance. A fantastic opportunity for investors seeking a well-located, income-producing property in a highly desirable student rental area. Tenant agreements in place from May 2026 through April 2027.

Listed at $799,800, this home is within the range of comparable homes, on the lower side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Ainslie Wood, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $928K, a close match.
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 $850K
- Bedrooms +$30K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $865K
That comparable adjusts to $865K; the $865K estimate above is the median of all 5 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 more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Transit is limited nearby. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $865K, median of 5 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.
- Currently tenanted: confirm the lease terms and vacant-possession timing before closing.

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.
