Since 2001, Jackson has built 73% of the homes it has today; Ontario’s towns, 17%
The 2021 census put the median home at $650,000, with an average of $642,470. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Jackson included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $227,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of London as a whole, not for Jackson alone.
Two ways to price a home in Jackson
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates.
