Owners valued the median home at $448,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Casselman.
Two ways to price a home in Casselman
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.
