What Is My Home Worth in London Ontario?

Why Online Estimates Are Often Wrong

Tools like Zestimate (Zillow) and HouseSigma give estimated home values based on public data and algorithms. They are a useful starting point but frequently off by 5–15% in London Ontario — sometimes more. They can't account for your renovated kitchen, the fact that your street backs onto a park, or that your neighbour sold in a multiple-offer situation last month.

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from a local agent who knows your specific neighbourhood is the only reliable way to know what your home will actually sell for in today's market.

What Is a CMA?

A CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) is a detailed report prepared by a real estate agent that compares your home to similar properties that have recently sold in your area. A good CMA looks at:

• Recent sold prices of comparable homes (last 90 days ideally)
• Active listings competing with your home right now
• Expired listings — homes that didn't sell and why
• Your home's specific features versus the comparables
• Current market conditions — buyer vs. seller market

A CMA from a reputable London ON agent is free and comes with no obligation. It's the single most valuable thing you can do before deciding to sell.

What Factors Affect Your Home Value in London ON?

Dozens of factors influence what your home will sell for. Here are the most significant ones in London's market:

• Location and street — same neighbourhood, different streets can vary $50K+
• Lot size — larger lots command meaningful premiums, especially in Westmount and Byron
• Square footage and bedroom/bathroom count
• Basement — finished vs. unfinished is a significant value difference
• Kitchen and bathrooms — updated or original
• Age and condition of roof, furnace, windows, and plumbing
• School district — Old North, Byron, and Masonville command premiums partly because of schools
• Proximity to parks, trails, and amenities
• Garage — single vs. double, attached vs. detached
• Current inventory — fewer competing listings = more seller leverage
