Census values for 2021: a median of $500,000 and an average of $487,000. There is no public record of sale prices in Alberta, which leaves the census value as the guide for Livingston. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $525,000. Livingston doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Calgary.
