Going by owners’ own estimates in 2021, the typical home is worth $650,000, the average one $707,013. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. For Bostwick there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario.
What Bostwick’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. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns.
