A median of $500,000 and a mean of $867,175: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Erlton’s homes actually sold for. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $525,000. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Calgary as a whole, not for Erlton alone.
Two ways to price a home in Erlton
Each source sits beside its own median for Alberta’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
