The 2021 census gives $400,000 as the median value; Ontario’s towns come to $695,000. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Madoc. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $149,000. 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.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since.
