Some 14,485 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Keswick.
What Keswick’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. 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.
