The census of 2021 asked 540 owner households what their home was worth. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. There is no public record of sale prices in Quebec, which leaves the census value as the guide for Franklin. Québec’s 2024 property roll puts single-family homes at a median $341,200, at market values of July 1, 2022.
