The census median was $1,200,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Vellore. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued 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. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Vaughan, Vellore included.
