Owners put the median home at $300,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. For Little Current there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $142,000. 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.
