That is a median of $448,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. For South Windsor there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $156,000. 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 Windsor alone.
