The middle home was worth $572,000 at the 2021 census, the average $474,640. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Cedar Hill. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $309,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Kitchener, Cedar Hill included.
