In Chalmers, 17% of households can’t afford a home that is big enough and in good repair (Manitoba’s towns: 7%)
By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $200,000; the average was $227,820. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. In 2023, 14,740 homes changed hands at a median price of $374,000, by Statistics Canada’s count. Nobody publishes sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits for Chalmers alone, so this card uses the figure for the city of Winnipeg.
