Half the owned homes in Turnball are valued above $850,000
It is the middle of what 2,300 owner households told the 2021 census. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Turnball the census value is the measure.
What Turnball’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario.
