Owners valued the median home at $500,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Strathroy included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $239,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
