The census of 2021 asked 2,230 owner households what their home was worth. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Tavistock’s homes actually sold for.
Tavistock’s homes, by two sources
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. 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.
