At the 2021 census the median home was worth $1,740,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since. No sales are published for towns in Ontario, Yonge-St.Clair included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Yonge-St.Clair’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. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Yonge-St.Clair alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Toronto.
