A median of $448,000 and a mean of $443,947: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. No sales are published for towns in Alberta, Cityscape included, so owners’ values are the measure.
What Cityscape’s homes are worth, two ways
Two sources, each set against Alberta’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Nobody publishes assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Cityscape alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Calgary.
