Owners put the median home at $500,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Midland’s homes actually sold for.
Two ways to price a home in Midland
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
