Photo: Schreiber Public Library · Public domainHomes in Schreiber are worth 89% less than the median of Ontario’s towns
At the 2021 census the median home was worth $75,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. For Schreiber there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $40,000. 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.
