Support for MPPs and constituency staff

Ontario’s residential property landscape has continued to evolve over the last decade – communities with homes under $500,000 are becoming increasingly scarce. According to data released by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), the type of homes with a value less than $750,000 and where they can be found has also shifted.

As of December 2023, the median home value in Ontario was $765,000, with the median value in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) at $1,031,000. The median value represents the mid-point of the range, meaning half of properties have a value above, and half have a value below. 

With year-over-year price increases driving buyers to look at communities farther outside the GTHA, you can read the full news release to learn more. You can also view our housing inventory map to see where your municipality stands.

For many of your constituents, their property is their single biggest asset, and its value can have a significant impact on their lives. We recently launched an awareness campaign, which aims to help homeowners and prospective homeowners understand MPAC’s role in the property market space. To help your constituents, we’ve curated content you can share on your website, in newsletters, and across social media channels. We encourage you to leverage this information, share your feedback and let us know how else we can support you!

To help property owners understand the benefits of AboutMyProperty, we’ve created content that features links to our social posts for easy reshares across your channels. We’ve also included new content and graphics that you can use in newsletters, on your website, and a ready-to-print buck slip.
