Ontario Market Insights
Ontario's median home price of $310,375 supports an average inspection fee of $470, which is 0.15% of home value—above the national norm. With 158+ annual inspections and low competition, first-year income ranges $19K–$33K. The fee-to-price ratio signals pricing power; higher home values allow premium fees without deterring buyers. Local market density (11842 pop.) suggests unmet demand. Cold data: 158 inspections at $470 each equals $74,260 gross revenue. Immediate action: capture this undersupplied market now.
