The middle home was worth $700,000 at the 2021 census, the average $700,904. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Yonge-Doris.
Yonge-Doris’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. 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.
