Census values for 2021: a median of $1,000,000 and an average of $1,088,932. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Long Branch. 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. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Long Branch alone, so this card uses the figure for 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. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices.
