Listed at $379,900, this home is tracking about 15% above a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so treat this as a rough read until I run 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 15 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 15 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $450K, higher than the comparables and worth a second look. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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 $490K
- Bathrooms +$15K
- Adjusts to $505K
That comparable adjusts to $505K; the $330K estimate above is the median of all 15 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. BURLINGTON at MCKINSTRY is about a 1-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $330K, median of 15 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.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties.
- Open-concept layout: modern, sought-after flow.

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.
