79% of Huron South’s homes have been built since 2001, against 17% for Ontario’s towns
The middle home was worth $800,000 at the 2021 census, the average $829,000. For Huron South there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $309,000. 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. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Kitchener, with Huron South one part of it.
