Homes in Brockville are worth 57% less than the median of Ontario’s towns

The census median was $300,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Brockville’s homes actually sold for. Assessors valued the median residential property at $190,000 for 2024. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
