By the 2021 census, half of owned homes were worth more than $368,000; the average was $422,247. No sales are published for towns in Saskatchewan, Avalon included, so owners’ values are the measure. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $322,000. Avalon doesn’t get its own assessed values, values by property type and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Saskatoon.
Avalon’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. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021.
