Listed at $1,560,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with 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 18 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 18 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $389K, 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 $1.20M
- Size difference +$270K
- Bedrooms +$30K
- Adjusts to $1.50M
That comparable adjusts to $1.50M; the $1.52M estimate above is the median of all 18 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. Leavitt Loop is about a 12-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.52M, median of 18 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.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it.

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.
