Home values in Sundance run 25% higher than the median of Alberta’s towns
Owners put the median home at $500,000 at the 2021 census; for Alberta’s towns the median is $400,000. No open sale prices are published in Alberta, so for Sundance the census value is the measure. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $525,000. Sundance doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Calgary.
Sundance’s homes, by two sources
Two sources, each set against Alberta’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
