Before 1961 is when 56% of Fairview’s homes went up, beside 5% for Alberta’s towns
In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $448,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $453,204. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since. There is no public record of sale prices in Alberta, which leaves the census value as the guide for Fairview.
