Owners valued the median home at $448,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Mildmay included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Mildmay’s homes are worth, two ways
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.
