Photo: P199 · CC BY-SA 3.0Lucan is adding housing quickly, at 39.1 new homes a year per 1,000 (Ontario’s towns: 15)
Going by owners’ own estimates in 2021, the typical home is worth $564,000, the average one $595,000. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Lucan included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Lucan’s homes are worth, two ways
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.
