The census median was $100,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Hornepayne.
Two ways to price a home in Hornepayne
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
