In figures: $500,000 for the median home in 2021, $695,000 for the middle of Ontario’s towns. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Tecumseh. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $260,000. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.
