Some 1,730 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, North Gower - Kars included, so owners’ values are the measure. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $370,000. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Ottawa, with North Gower - Kars one part of it.
