In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $900,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $967,000. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Brampton the census value is the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $506,000. 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.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.
