Homes in Lisgar are worth a median $650,000
Behind it are the answers of 1,025 owners at the 2021 census. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Lisgar included, so owners’ values are the measure. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property 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 Lisgar alone.
