The middle home in Braeside is valued at $400,000
Some 1,885 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. There is no public record of sale prices in Alberta, which leaves the census value as the guide for Braeside. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $525,000. Braeside doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Calgary.
