At the 2021 census the median home was worth $360,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Gananoque.
Two ways to price a home in Gananoque
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.
