Corman lives in apartments: 35% of its homes, beside 13% for Ontario’s towns
The 2021 census put the median home at $650,000, with an average of $618,700. For Corman there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued 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, Corman included.
What Corman’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. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021.
