67% of St. George’s homes were built before 1961, against 23% across Manitoba’s towns
Census values for 2021: a median of $300,000 and an average of $305,122. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up. In 2023, 14,740 homes changed hands at a median price of $374,000, by Statistics Canada’s count. St. George doesn’t get its own sale prices, assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Winnipeg.
