Census values for 2021: a median of $750,000 and an average of $1,099,101. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. For Langstaff there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario.
Two ways to price a home in Langstaff
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. 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. Langstaff doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Markham.
