By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $800,000; the average was $658,884. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Black Creek the census value is the measure. Assessors valued the median residential property at $557,000 for 2024. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Black Creek doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Toronto.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Self-assessed in May 2021, these values predate the rate rises that followed.
