Going by owners’ own estimates in 2021, the typical home is worth $700,000, the average one $769,352. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Uplands.
Uplands’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. 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.
