In figures: $1,100,000 for the median home in 2021, $695,000 for the middle of Ontario’s towns. What homes sold for in Maple isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Ontario. Assessors valued the median residential property at $770,000 for 2024. 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 Maple alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Vaughan.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Self-assessed in May 2021, these values predate the rate rises that followed.
