That figure comes from 690 owner households at the 2021 census. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Adelaide-Metcalfe’s homes actually sold for. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $261,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
