Overlanders lives in apartments: 37% of its homes, beside 14% for Alberta’s towns
A median of $348,000 and a mean of $325,299: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Alberta; the census value stands in for Overlanders. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $360,000. Overlanders doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Edmonton.
