PVSC + MLS · Area aggregate
Recent sales here are too few to report a reliable typical price — the figures below lean on the area's assessed values instead.
Recent sales here are too thin to state a reliable typical price, so this profile leans on the area's assessed-value movement (+86% over three years), its housing stock, and the 2021 census, rather than a headline price.
As of the 2021 Census, about 439 people live here, with a median household income near $67,500. 82% of homes are owner-occupied and 84% are single-detached.
Roughly 5 homes were added in the last five years — about 3.4% of the stock.
The blue dot marks Donkin; where a province-wide percentile exists it is shown, otherwise the Nova Scotia figure is given for reference.
About 5 new homes were built in Donkin over the last five years — roughly 3.4% of its homes. Counts detached, semi, townhouse and small multi-unit homes only — apartment and commercial development are tracked separately, so this is not a count of all new housing units.

An area profile for Donkin— how the area has moved, never a per-home estimate or a forecast. Market figures cover the last 24 months of arm's-length single-family sales (Property Valuation Services Corporation); the trend is on median price per square foot, which controls for which homes happened to sell. Where recent sales are too thin to be reliable, the typical-price figure is suppressed and the assessed-value movement is shown instead. New-build premiums hold home size constant. Demographics are from the 2021 Census of Canada, apportioned from dissemination areas to this boundary by parcel share.
