Owners put the median home at $448,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Nipissing’s homes actually sold for.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns.
