That is a median of $424,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, McNab/Braeside included, so owners’ values are the measure.
