Photo: Unknown Unknown · Public domainHome values in Hawkesbury run 68% lower than the median of Ontario’s towns
At the 2021 census the median home was worth $224,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Hawkesbury. Assessors valued the median residential property at $157,000 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.

Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Self-assessed in May 2021, these values predate the rate rises that followed.
