At the 2021 census the median home was worth $348,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. There is no public record of sale prices in Ontario, which leaves the census value as the guide for Fontainebleau.
What Fontainebleau’s homes are worth, two ways
Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices. Fontainebleau doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Windsor.
