Owners valued the median home at $400,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $440,523. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Glamorgan’s homes actually sold for. Assessors valued the median residential property at $525,000 for 2024. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Calgary, Glamorgan included.
