The middle home was worth $700,000 at the 2021 census, the average $864,494. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Moss Park’s homes actually sold for.
What Moss Park’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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.
