Listed at $849,999, about 6% below our estimate of $904K (homes like it typically land between $847K and $947K).
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $904K, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 7 months of inventory: 7 detached homes for sale in the area against 3 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $486/sqft against an area asking average of $552/sqft.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 13 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $726K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Riverdale, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 13 comparable homes that sold in Riverdale over the past two years, from 31 closings there.
Nothing closely matching this home is listed nearby right now, so these are the nearest detached listings on the market. Homes like this one have recently closed around $904K, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $479/sqft; this home lists at $486/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

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 numbersThe last 6 whole-home leases in Riverdale signed at a median of $3,200 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,928. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
