Since 2001, Secord has built 99% of the homes it has today; Alberta’s towns, 24%
A median of $400,000 and a mean of $435,791: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. No sales are published for towns in Alberta, Secord included, so owners’ values are the measure.
Secord’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Alberta’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Edmonton as a whole, not for Secord alone.
