Since 2001, Trinity has built 76% of the homes it has today; Ontario’s towns, 17%
A median of $800,000 and a mean of $900,967: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Trinity the census value is the measure. Assessors valued the median residential property at $353,000 for 2024. 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. Trinity doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Hamilton.
