That is a median of $2,000,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. These home values were given by owners themselves, in a census taken in May 2021. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Casa Loma the census value is the measure.
Two ways to price a home in Casa Loma
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Casa Loma alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Toronto.
