At the 2021 census the median home was worth $448,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Merrickville.
What Merrickville’s homes are worth, two ways
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.
