The middle home was worth $452,000 at the 2021 census, the average $474,987. No sales are published for towns in Saskatchewan, Brighton included, so owners’ values are the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $322,000. For assessed values, values by property type and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Saskatoon, Brighton included.
What Brighton’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Saskatchewan’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. Treat the values as owners’ May 2021 guesses: they are self-reported, and they come from before rates went up.
