Owners valued the median home at $950,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $919,443. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Milliken. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $787,000. 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. Milliken shares its assessed values, values by property type and building permits numbers with the rest of the city of Markham.
What Milliken’s homes are worth, two ways
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.

Milliken had 3,960 occupied homes at the 2021 census, 53% of them single-detached houses. At least half predate 2001. A neighbourhood’s counts are summed from small census areas, so its parts can fall a little short of the whole.
