In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $500,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $506,453. For South Cameron there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. Assessors valued the median residential property at $156,000 for 2024. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Windsor as a whole, not for South Cameron alone.
What South Cameron’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021.
