Behind it are the answers of 13,395 owners at the 2021 census. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Innisfil. Assessors valued the median residential property at $392,000 for 2024. 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 Innisfil’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021.
