Homes in Devonshire are worth 49% less than the median of Ontario’s towns
At the 2021 census the median home was worth $352,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Devonshire.
Two ways to price a home in Devonshire
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
