By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $344,000; the average was $327,327. No sales are published for towns in Alberta, Glenwood included, so owners’ values are the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $360,000. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Edmonton, Glenwood included.
