Some 6,575 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Bridgenorth. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $312,000. 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.
