Owners put the median home at $1,400,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. What homes sold for in Roncesvalles isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Ontario.
Roncesvalles’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. 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.
