Owners put the median home at $200,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. For Moosonee there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $133,000. 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.
What Moosonee’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Keep in mind these are owners’ estimates from the 2021 census, not recorded sales.
