A personal price range, not an automated estimate
A Burlington home evaluation from us is a personal value range for your home, based on recent comparable sales, the homes you would be competing with today and your home’s condition. A bungalow in Roseland, a townhouse in Alton Village and a condo near Spencer Smith Park sell in different markets, so we price each one against its own sales.
A price range, the same day
A REALTOR® from The Mother Daughter Team™ will personally review your property information. We then text you a realistic range. Sent after 8 pm? You’ll hear from us first thing the next morning.
The comparable sales behind it
A written evaluation by email that shows which recent sales we used and which homes for sale you would be up against.
What moves your number
Renovations, condition, lot, location and features such as parking or a finished basement. We tell you which ones raise or lower the range, and what may be worth fixing before you list.
No obligation to list
Many people ask just to know where they stand. Selling, and when, is your decision.
This is not an appraisal. A formal appraisal is a separate report by a licensed appraiser, usually ordered by a lender. Ours is a REALTOR®’s opinion of the likely selling range, which is what you need to decide whether and when to sell.
Why we ask for each detail. The address tells us which sales to compare. Your mobile is where we text the range, and your email is where the written evaluation goes. We only contact you about this request, unless you tick the box for market updates.
How we set your price range
An evaluation is only as good as the sales behind it. These are the things we look at before we text you a number.
Recent sales of similar homes
Homes like yours that sold nearby, usually in the last three to six months. When sales are thin, we look back further and tell you so.
Matched on what buyers pay for
Property type, size, lot, bedrooms and bathrooms, parking, basement and age. A semi is not compared with a detached home.
Adjusted for condition
A renovated kitchen, a new roof or work that still needs doing all move the price. An online estimate can't see inside your home. We ask.
Your competition today
Buyers will compare your home with what is for sale near you right now. Listings that expired without selling show where the ceiling is.
Where the market is heading
We check the monthly benchmark trend for your area, so the range reflects today's market. See our Burlington and Hamilton market report.
Why a range, not one number
No two homes match exactly. A range is honest about that, and the written evaluation shows which sales sit at each end of it.
What sellers say on Google
“The team was amazing. We were selling our house and downsizing into a condo and they made it so easy. … We got lucky with a quick sale and purchase but without their team we may not have gotten the buyer or property we did.”
“Outstanding experience with Kristina! Selling a 1+ den condo in a tough market takes real expertise, and when I found my dream townhouse, Kristina truly made magic happen.”
“I wish I could give 10 stars for this amazing real estate team! I had to buy and sell my home while taking care of 2 young kids and working full time and this team got it done! The realtor (maria) was SO patient and kind and held my hand through every step.”
Two markets, different starting points
Where you sell changes the numbers. Here is how the two cities compared in the latest monthly data.
| September 2026 | Burlington | Hamilton |
|---|---|---|
| Composite benchmark price | $854,500 | $664,500 |
| Change from August | −2.4% | −0.9% |
| Change from September 2025 | −4.1% | −6.0% |
A typical Hamilton home is benchmarked about $190,000 below a typical Burlington home. Over the year, Hamilton’s benchmark has fallen further than Burlington’s, 6.0% against 4.1%. Across Cornerstone’s market areas, homes took an average of 40 days to sell in September, up from 37 a year earlier. With buyers taking longer, the starting price matters more.

Pricing mistakes to avoid
Pricing to what you need
Your mortgage balance or your next purchase doesn't change what similar homes sold for. Buyers only see the comparables.
Starting high to leave room
The first few weeks bring the most buyer attention. An overpriced home misses them and often ends up reducing anyway.
Trusting an online estimate
Automated estimates can't see condition, renovations or the lot, and they can be wrong in either direction.
Counting renovations at cost
Buyers pay what similar updated homes sold for, which isn't always what the work cost you.
Waiting too long to adjust
If showings are slow in the first two to three weeks, the market is telling you something about the price.
Skipping the preparation
Photos are the first showing. Small repairs, decluttering and good light often matter more than big projects.
What it costs to sell, and what you keep
What you keep is the sale price minus your mortgage and the costs of selling. Ask for these numbers before you list, not after.
| Cost | What to know |
|---|---|
| Real estate commission | Set in your listing agreement and negotiable. In Ontario, 13% HST applies on top of it. |
| Legal fees | A real estate lawyer handles the closing. Most quote a flat fee plus disbursements, so ask for a quote early. |
| Mortgage payout | The balance owing, plus any discharge fee. If you end a mortgage before its term is up, your lender may charge a prepayment penalty. Ask for a payout statement early so the number isn't a surprise. |
| Preparation and moving | Repairs, painting, cleaning, staging and the move itself. We'll tell you which are worth doing for your home. |
| Property tax and utilities | Adjusted on closing day, so you pay only up to the day you hand over the keys. |
| Capital gains tax | Usually none on your principal residence. A cottage, rental or second property can be different. Read our capital gains guide and speak with an accountant. |
Sellers in Ontario don't pay land transfer tax. That is the buyer's cost. Ask Laura or Kristina to walk you through what you would keep at your price range. Or run your own numbers in our selling cost calculator.
From first call to closing

We text you a price range the same day. The written evaluation, with the comparable sales, follows by email.
PreparationUsually 1–4 weeks
Repairs, decluttering, photos, and staging where it helps. How long depends on the home and your schedule.

Price, season and property type all matter. Across Cornerstone’s market areas, homes averaged 40 days on market in September 2026.

Home evaluation FAQ
How accurate is a free home evaluation?
It is built on recent sales of similar homes near you and adjusted for your home's condition and features, so it gives a realistic range. The final price depends on the market when you list and how the home is presented.
Is the evaluation really free? Do I have to list with you?
Yes, it is free, and there is no obligation to list. Many people ask simply to know where they stand.
How long does it take?
We text you a price range the same day you send your details, then email the written evaluation with the comparable sales behind it.
Do you need to see inside my home?
Not for the first range. For the most accurate number, a short visit or a few photos let us account for updates and condition that sales records can't show.
Do sellers pay land transfer tax in Ontario?
No. Ontario land transfer tax is paid by the buyer. Sellers' main costs are commission, legal fees and paying out the mortgage.
