Two ways to price a home in Ingersoll
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
