The middle home was worth $300,000 at the 2021 census, the average $298,712. 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. Behind sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Winnipeg, with Earl Grey one part of it.
