The 2021 census put the median home at $800,000, with an average of $831,079. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Binbrook. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $353,000. 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. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Hamilton, Binbrook included.
What Binbrook’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
