That figure comes from 1,200 owner households at the 2021 census. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Trend-Arlington included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Two ways to price a home in Trend-Arlington
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
