Recent sales here are too thin to state a reliable typical price, so this profile leans on the area's assessed-value movement (+61% over three years), its housing stock, and the 2021 census, rather than a headline price.
As of the 2021 Census, about 346 people live here, with a median household income near $49,415. 83% of homes are owner-occupied and 88% are single-detached.
Roughly 2 homes were added in the last five years — about 1.4% of the stock.

An area profile for Gold River — 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.
