At the 2021 census the median home was worth $900,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. Keep in mind these are owners’ estimates from the 2021 census, not recorded sales. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Britannia.
Two ways to price a home in Britannia
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.
