Photo: GTD Aquitaine · Public domainA home in Guildwood is worth 37% more than the middle of Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $950,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Guildwood included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Two ways to price a home in Guildwood
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. Guildwood shares its assessed values, values by property type and building permits numbers with the rest of the city of Toronto.
