Apartments make up 45% of the homes in Blakeley, where Ontario’s towns have 13%
In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $552,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $574,206. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Blakeley included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Blakeley’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. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
