Since 2001, Van Kirk has built 84% of the homes it has today; Ontario’s towns, 17%
A median of $900,000 and a mean of $930,400: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Van Kirk included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Van Kirk’s homes are worth, two ways
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.
