A home in Leger is worth 25% more than the middle of Alberta’s towns
In figures: $500,000 for the median home in 2021, $400,000 for the middle of Alberta’s towns. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Leger’s homes actually sold for.
What Leger’s homes are worth, two ways
Each source sits beside its own median for Alberta’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Leger doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Edmonton.
