The Perth guide
Stone heritage and Tay River charm. As a smaller Ontario town where the main street still does most of the work, Perth spreads across 3 named communities, and the difference between them is usually what decides where people buy.
Expect a mix of detached houses, semis and townhomes, with newer subdivisions on the edges. The older, more central pockets tend to hold value best.
Right now there are 339 homes for sale in Perth around a median asking price of $599,900, plus 25 rentals near $2,110 a month. Every community below has its own guide with the homes available there today.
Good to know before you shortlist
- Newer subdivisions can still be finishing roads, parks and schools; older pockets have them already.
- Ask how long the trip to work really takes at 8am, not at noon.
- Check school catchments before you fall for a street — they don't always follow community boundaries.
Who Perth suits
- Families who want a slower pace
- First-time buyers priced out of the bigger cities
- Retirees who want everything close by
Getting around
- OC Transpo buses and O-Train, or local transit
- VIA Rail on the Ottawa–Toronto corridor
- Highways 417 and 401
