In figures: $500,000 for the median home in 2021, $695,000 for the middle of Ontario’s towns. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Beaverbrook the census value is the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $370,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Ottawa, Beaverbrook included.
Beaverbrook’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since.
