Photo: P199 · CC BY-SA 4.0A home in Bayshore is worth 42% less than the middle of Ontario’s towns
In figures: $400,000 for the median home in 2021, $695,000 for the middle of Ontario’s towns. Self-assessed in May 2021, these values predate the rate rises that followed. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Bayshore included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Bayshore’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. Bayshore doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Ottawa.
