Owners valued the median home at $260,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $290,098. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Saskatchewan; the census value stands in for Downtown. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $286,000. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Regina as a whole, not for Downtown alone.
Downtown’s homes, by two sources
Each source sits beside its own median for Saskatchewan’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.
