Census values for 2021: a median of $700,000 and an average of $744,159. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Kirkendall North’s homes actually sold for.
Two ways to price a home in Kirkendall North
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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.
