The middle home was worth $800,000 at the 2021 census, the average $838,802. For Greely there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. 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. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Ottawa, with Greely one part of it.
