Census values for 2021: a median of $500,000 and an average of $698,000. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Carling. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $343,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch.
