That is a median of $190,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $300,000 for Quebec’s towns. The values date from May 2021 and are what owners thought their homes were worth, not sale prices. No open sale prices are published in Quebec, so for Richmond the census value is the measure. The municipal roll for 2025 values single-family homes at a median $242,100, at July 1, 2023 prices.
