That is a median of $400,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Greater Napanee included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $209,000. 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.
Greater Napanee’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. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates.
