Listed at $445,000. Going by how homes in Lakeshore and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 10 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $433K, if it sells. A realistic range is $408K to $468K.
Independent value check: $558K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 25% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $519K and $587K).
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $433K, from 10 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 2.4 months of inventory: 8 condo apartment homes for sale in the area against 10 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $405/sqft against an area asking average of $539/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 and this building.
It never sees the asking price. The 10 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $446K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed. Weigh carefully
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature. Lifestyle

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 60 whole-home leases in Lakeshore signed at a median of $2,296 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $2,820. 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.
