Photo: Tourismhumboldt · CC BY-SA 3.0A home in Humboldt is worth 23% less than the middle of Saskatchewan’s towns
At the 2021 census the median home was worth $250,000, where Saskatchewan’s towns sit at $324,000. The census asks owners what their home would sell for, so the values are estimates from May 2021. There is no public record of sale prices in Saskatchewan, which leaves the census value as the guide for Humboldt.
