Photo: P199 · CC BY-SA 3.0A home in Kemptville is worth 28% less than the middle of Ontario’s towns
In figures: $500,000 for the median home in 2021, $695,000 for the middle of Ontario’s towns. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Kemptville’s homes actually sold for.
Kemptville’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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.
