Formula Used
The home value is calculated using a weighted formula that considers:
Home Value Formula
Home Value = (Base Price × Size Factor × Location Factor × Type Factor) × Adjustment Factor
Where:
- Base Price = Average price per square foot for the property type
- Size Factor = Adjustment based on property size
- Location Factor = Regional price multiplier
- Type Factor = Property type multiplier
- Adjustment Factor = Recent market conditions (1.00 = normal, 1.05 = rising, 0.95 = falling)
The calculator uses Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) data and recent sales to determine the base prices and factors.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the value of a 2,000 sq ft detached home in Toronto:
- Base price for detached homes in Toronto: $400/sq ft
- Size factor (2,000 sq ft): 1.05
- Location factor (Toronto): 1.20
- Type factor (detached): 1.10
- Adjustment factor (current market): 1.00
Calculation
Home Value = ($400 × 1.05 × 1.20 × 1.10) × 1.00
= $400 × 1.422 = $568,800
Therefore, the estimated value of this Toronto detached home is $568,800.
