The census median was $400,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Carling.
Carling’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of London as a whole, not for Carling alone.

More apartments than most: 45% of the homes in Carling (Ontario’s towns: 13%)
