Owners valued the median home at $400,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Corunna the census value is the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $187,000. 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.
Corunna’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021.
