At the 2021 census the median home was worth $388,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Oliver Paipoonge included, so owners’ values are the measure. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $259,000. 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.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
