About this home
Welcome to Unit 810 at 1966 Main St West, a bright 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo perched above the greenery of West Hamilton. This modern unit has stunning unobstructed views of the surrounding treetops and the escarpment landscape.

Whether you're a student or parent investor eyeing proximity to McMaster, a young professional wanting an effortless home base, or a downsizer ready to trade yardwork for pool time, Unit 810 checks the boxes. Surrounded by nature, connected to the city, and move-in ready. This one's waiting for its next chapter.

Combined w/Dining
Listed at $324,900, this home is about 29% below comparable homes, worth a close look. 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 6 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 6 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $258K, 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 $389K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $374K
That comparable adjusts to $374K; the $460K estimate above is the median of all 6 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, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Opposite 1940 MAIN is about a 2-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $460K, median of 6 comparables.

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.
