The 2021 census gives $134,000 as the median value; Ontario’s towns come to $695,000. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Nipigon.
What Nipigon’s homes are worth, two ways
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
