A newly built town: 49% of the homes in Membertou 28B date from 2001 or later (Nova Scotia’s towns: 17%)
Homes on a First Nations reserve sit outside the census’s questions on home values and shelter costs, so Membertou 28B has no value or burden figures. The cost of living page has the rent that covers Membertou 28B. Sales are published too: 1,960 buyers in 2023, at a median $165,000. Nobody publishes sale prices for Membertou 28B alone, so this card uses the figure for the Cape Breton area.
