Rooms
Listed at $669,000, about 13% below our estimate of $768K (homes like it typically land between $720K and $805K).
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $768K, 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 $743/sqft against an area asking average of $531/sqft.
- Park / green-space backing. This home backs onto a green space, and the listing says so too. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, 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 12 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $607K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights1 point to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
Below comparable homes on total price, yet the price per square foot ($743/sqft) is above the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Riverdale, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 12 comparable homes that sold in Riverdale over the past two years, from 31 closings there.

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 $2,150. 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.
