A median of $850,000 and a mean of $869,647: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Carp’s homes actually sold for.
What Carp’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Carp doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Ottawa.
