An old town: 40% of the homes in Woodcroft predate 1961, where Alberta’s towns have 5%
A median of $380,000 and a mean of $355,490: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. Sale prices aren’t published in Alberta: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Woodcroft. Assessors valued the median residential property at $360,000 for 2024. Woodcroft doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Edmonton.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Alberta’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since.
