Owners valued the median home at $1,000,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $806,724. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Dixie.
Dixie’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
