The census median was $2,500,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, St.Andrew-Windfields included, so owners’ values are the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $557,000. 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 St.Andrew-Windfields alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Toronto.
