Homes built before 1961 make up 40% of Lauderdale, against 5% for Alberta’s towns
A median of $300,000 and a mean of $298,112: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. There is no public record of sale prices in Alberta, which leaves the census value as the guide for Lauderdale.
