Listed at $795,000, this home is tracking about 11% below a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so it is worth confirming with a precise CMA rather than reading it as a clear deal. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Below comparable homes on total price, yet the price per square foot ($612/sqft) is in line with the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
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 7 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 7 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $629K, 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 $799K
- Bedrooms +$120K
- Bathrooms +$15K
- Adjusts to $934K
That comparable adjusts to $934K; the $895K estimate above is the median of all 7 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. MOHAWK opposite SOUTHLEA is about a 1-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $895K, median of 7 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.
- Addition / added square footage: more space lifts value when it is permitted and well integrated, verify the permits.
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment.

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. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
