Rooms
Listed at $1,299,900, this home is right in line with comparable homes. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Greensville, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 14 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 14 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $985K, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
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 $1.37M
- Bedrooms +$30K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $1.39M
That comparable adjusts to $1.39M; the $1.29M estimate above is the median of all 14 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. HEAD at MACNAB is about a 23-minute walk away. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.29M, median of 14 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.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition.

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.

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.
