Homes in Golf Course are worth a median $700,000
Some 1,235 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Golf Course’s homes actually sold for. 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. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Golf Course alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Hamilton.
Golf Course’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.
