What could a suite in your backyard actually be worth?

A 60-second estimate built on current Toronto build costs, rents, and financing. Honest numbers — including the months they don’t look perfect — because a $400K decision deserves the real picture, not a sales pitch.

Build cost defaults reflect Toronto 2026 turnkey ranges ($400–600/sqft + soft costs). Rents reflect new-build comps. Development charges are modelled at $0 — the City of Toronto currently exempts garden & laneway suites. Value-added is a cap-rate estimate of the income created, not an appraisal. Verify all figures at application.
