7,070 owner households answered the census question on value in 2021. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Huntsville the census value is the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $249,000. 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.
What Huntsville’s homes are worth, two ways
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
