Some 3,950 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Ramara’s homes actually sold for. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $280,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
What Ramara’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. The values date from May 2021 and are what owners thought their homes were worth, not sale prices.
