In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $750,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $731,784. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021. For Centre there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario.
Centre’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
