Owners valued the median home at $226,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Timmins. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $151,000. 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.
