Census values for 2021: a median of $452,000 and an average of $524,710. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for East Riverside. Assessors valued the median residential property at $156,000 for 2024. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Windsor as a whole, not for East Riverside alone.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since.
