It is the middle of what 1,390 owner households told the 2021 census. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Falkirk East’s homes actually sold for.
Falkirk East’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. 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.
