The 2021 census put the median home at $628,000, with an average of $617,884. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Stanley Park. Assessors valued the median residential property at $309,000 for 2024. 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. Stanley Park doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Kitchener.
Two ways to price a home in Stanley Park
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. These home values were given by owners themselves, in a census taken in May 2021.
