A median of $324,000 and a mean of $354,167: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Beltline’s homes actually sold for.
