That figure comes from 895 owner households at the 2021 census. No sales are published for towns in Alberta, Northmount included, so owners’ values are the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $360,000. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Edmonton, with Northmount one part of it.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Alberta’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch.
