The census of 2021 asked 2,405 owner households what their home was worth. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Malahide.
Malahide’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.
