7 Bromley Street

Sold Jun 11, 2026
Sold for $56k less456 sq ft smaller$8 higher per sq ftVery similar builder-grade finishes

This sold listing is a great point of comparison as it's located right in the same Essex Place community and was built just a year after 41 Duchess Avenue. While it offers a bit less square footage, it sold for nearly $90,000 less, which is a significant gap for the neighborhood. The interior finishes and overall curb appeal are very similar to the home for sale, suggesting that the current asking price for 41 Duchess Avenue might be a bit high for the immediate area.

Bottom line
While 41 Duchess Avenue offers more space, this sale suggests the market value in Essex Place is lower than the current asking price.

25 Duchess Avenue

Sold Jun 16, 2026
Sold for $48k less29 sq ft larger$22 lower per sq ftNearly identical age and style

This is perhaps the most telling comparison since it's located on the same street and offers almost the exact same amount of living space as 41 Duchess Avenue. Despite having nearly identical features and being built around the same time, this property sold for a much lower price per square foot. Seeing a home of this size and quality sell for $133 per square foot makes the $170 per square foot asking price for the home for sale look quite ambitious.

Bottom line
Given that this nearly identical home on the same street sold for significantly less, 41 Duchess Avenue appears to be priced well above the recent market trend.

15 Gerrad Street

Sold Feb 17, 2026
Sold for $48k less417 sq ft smaller$10 higher per sq ftBrand new with quartz and LVP upgrades

It's interesting to look at this brand-new home in the nearby Essex Village, which features more modern upgrades like quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Even with those higher-end finishes and the benefit of being new construction, it still sold for less per square foot than the home for sale at 41 Duchess Avenue. This suggests that 41 Duchess Avenue is positioned at the very top of the market, even when compared to newer, more updated options.

Bottom line
When a brand-new home with superior finishes sells for less per square foot, it indicates that the home for sale is likely overpriced for its age and condition.
