Behind it are the answers of 5,925 owners at the 2021 census. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. For Fallingbrook there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario.
What Fallingbrook’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. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Ottawa, Fallingbrook included.
