At the 2021 census the median home was worth $428,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Havelock included, so owners’ values are the measure. Assessors valued the median residential property at $224,000 for 2024. 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.
