Asked in 2021, owners gave a median value of $552,000; averaged, their homes came to $581,950. What homes sold for in DT Core isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Ontario. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $563,000. 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. DT Core doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Mississauga.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since.
