A home in Leeming is worth 29% more than the middle of Ontario’s towns
Owners put the median home at $900,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. Self-assessed in May 2021, these values predate the rate rises that followed. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Leeming included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Two ways to price a home in Leeming
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. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Hamilton, with Leeming one part of it.
