Owners put the median home in Red Hill at $650,000
Some 1,245 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Red Hill included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Two ways to price a home in Red Hill
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Hamilton, Red Hill included.
