Owners put the median home at $300,000 at the 2021 census; for Ontario’s towns the median is $695,000. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what East Windsor’s homes actually sold for. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $156,000. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. East Windsor shares its assessed values, values by property type and building permits numbers with the rest of the city of Windsor.
