In May 2021 the median owned home was worth $460,000 by its owner’s reckoning, the average one $668,561. For Windermere there is no published sale price, as for every town in Alberta. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $360,000. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Edmonton as a whole, not for Windermere alone.

Each source sits beside its own median for Alberta’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices.
