A median of $280,000 and a mean of $286,955: that is how owners valued their homes in 2021. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since. There is no public record of sale prices in Saskatchewan, which leaves the census value as the guide for Mount Royal.
