Formula Used

The estimated selling price is calculated using the following formula:

Estimated Selling Price Formula

Estimated Price = (Base Price × Location Factor × Condition Factor × Bedroom Factor) × 1.10 (for market adjustments)

Where:

Base Price = Square Footage × $400 (average Ontario price per square foot)
Location Factor = 0.9 to 1.3 (based on city/region)
Condition Factor = 0.8 to 1.2 (based on home condition)
Bedroom Factor = 0.9 to 1.1 (based on number of bedrooms)

This formula provides a starting point for your selling price estimate. Actual market conditions may affect the final price.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the estimated selling price for a 2,000 sq ft, 3-bedroom home in Toronto with good condition:

Base Price = 2,000 × $400 = $800,000
Location Factor (Toronto) = 1.2
Condition Factor (Good) = 1.0
Bedroom Factor (3 bedrooms) = 1.0
Estimated Price = ($800,000 × 1.2 × 1.0 × 1.0) × 1.10 = $1,056,000

Therefore, the estimated selling price for this property is $1,056,000.
