A newly built town: 54% of the homes in Felker date from 2001 or later (Ontario’s towns: 17%)
Census values for 2021: a median of $800,000 and an average of $766,820. The values date from May 2021 and are what owners thought their homes were worth, not sale prices. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Felker.
What Felker’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. 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, Felker included.
