Listed at $948,000, about 23% below our estimate of $1.23M (homes like it typically land between $1.15M and $1.29M).
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.23M, learned from recent GTA sales.
The market behind the math:
About 6 months of inventory: 6 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 $421/sqft against an area asking average of $531/sqft.
- Corner lot. Two street frontages: more to landscape, shovel and mow, and more exposure to traffic, wind and headlights at night. Buyers price that against an interior lot on the same street, so I read this one on the cautious side and confirm the setting in person.
- Ravine / green setting. This home is described as backing onto a ravine or green setting. The ravine backing is priced into the comparison. How much it is really worth depends on whether the house sits on table land with the slope well behind it, or drops away right behind it, and that part is my in-person call.
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 8 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $953K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights3 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits. Worth verifying
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle
- Corner lot: more light and frontage, sometimes at the cost of privacy. Weigh carefully
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 8 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 $1.23M, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $429/sqft; this home lists at $421/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

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 $3,275. 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.
