A home in Crossroads is worth 73% more than the middle of Ontario’s towns

At the 2021 census the median home was worth $1,200,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. What homes sold for in Crossroads isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Ontario. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $770,000. 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 Crossroads alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Vaughan.
