That figure comes from 1,930 owner households at the 2021 census. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Valley Park included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Valley Park’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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.
