By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $500,000; the average was $634,500. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Chatsworth included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $200,000. 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.
What Chatsworth’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021.
