Photo: P199 · Public domainA home in Armstrong is worth 71% less than the middle of Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $200,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Armstrong. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $147,000. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario.
