Photo: JeffJ · Public domain19% of households in Kearney are in core housing need, against 9% for Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $500,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $558,000. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Kearney. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $145,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
