In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $1,000,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $1,051,680. For Woodbridge there is no published sale price, as for every town 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. Woodbridge doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Vaughan.
What Woodbridge’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices.

More condos than most: 36% of the homes in Woodbridge (Ontario’s towns: 7%)
