A newly built town: 99% of the homes in Lampman date from 2001 or later (Ontario’s towns: 17%)
Asked in 2021, owners gave a median value of $1,000,000; averaged, their homes came to $1,026,537. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Lampman the census value is the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $353,000. 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. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Hamilton as a whole, not for Lampman alone.
What Lampman’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. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates.
