The census median was $400,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Arnprior the census value is the measure.
What Arnprior’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns.
