The census median was $980,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Erin’s homes actually sold for. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $510,000. 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.

Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. The values date from May 2021 and are what owners thought their homes were worth, not sale prices.
