Photo: JustSomePics · CC0Home values in Wingham run 42% lower than the median of Ontario’s towns
Owners valued the median home at $400,000 in 2021, where the median of Ontario’s towns was $695,000. For Wingham there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. Assessors valued the median residential property at $178,000 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.
