Census values for 2021: a median of $400,000 and an average of $659,467. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Taylor-Massey.
What Taylor-Massey’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. 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. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Taylor-Massey alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Toronto.
