Listed at $644,500. Going by how homes in Stoney Creek Mountain and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 98%, 22 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $629K, if it sells. A realistic range is $589K to $709K.
Independent value check: $856K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 33% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $802K and $897K).
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $629K, from 22 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 4.9 months of inventory: 36 detached homes for sale in the area against 22 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $496/sqft against an area asking average of $492/sqft.
- Separate-entrance basement apartment features. A finished 1 bed basement apartment with a separate entrance. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. Basements do rent in Stoney Creek Mountain: 11 of the 78 detached leases here lately were basement units, around $1,800 a month. That makes the suite real income. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the Town of Hamilton.
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 22 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $764K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
- 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 ($496/sqft) is in line with the area, which usually points to a smaller or more efficient layout.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Stoney Creek, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 22 comparable homes that sold in Stoney Creek Mountain over the past two years, from 252 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 $856K, which is where my estimate comes from.
Per square foot, these ask about $772/sqft; this home lists at $496/sqft. Size is part of the price story, not just the sticker.

Investor snapshot
The suite is real income here: basements rent in Stoney Creek Mountain (11 of 78 recent detached leases were basement units, around $1,800 a month). The figure above is the whole house on one lease; rented as two units, the suite alone brings about $1,800 a month on top of the upper floors. Permitted use is worth confirming with the city.
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 13 whole-home leases in Stoney Creek Mountain signed at a median of $2,765 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,410. 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.
