Huntington lives in apartments: 31% of its homes, beside 13% for Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $600,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $633,677. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates. For Huntington there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario.
What Huntington’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. Huntington doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Hamilton.
