In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $700,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $682,741. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Mount Dennis.
