Affordability in detail
Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 41.9% of owner households · 39.1% of renter households. (Different from the headline above, which compares the median cost against the median income — a typical-household what-if, not a count of stretched households.)
In core housing need (unaffordable, unsuitable or inadequate, with no affordable local alternative): 27.9% of owners · 22.7% of renters.
Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $190,000 median — self-reported, so it can differ from the assessed medians above.
Owner costs reflect current owners — including long-time, mortgage-free ones — not the cost to buy in today. The income-share figures compare 2020 median household income with shelter costs reported in 2021.

Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.

The market
Assessed value over time, and recent building activity.
Assessed value over time
Median assessed value changed -29% from 2012 to 2025.
That tracks Mill Woods Town Centre's condos — largely the same homes throughout — so it's a real value change, not a shifting mix.
Building activity
Since 2015: 83 building permits, no net change in the home count.
Permits year by year
Permits count every new home built — including purpose-built rental apartments and mixed-use buildings — so this can run well above the "total homes" figure above, which counts only individually-owned houses and condos.

About these figures. They use the City of Edmonton's annual property assessment — its mass-appraisal estimate of value as of July 1 the prior year, informed by that year's sales but applied across the whole roll at once. That makes it a reliable directional and comparative signal (ideal for "how does this neighbourhood compare"), but not the exact price a specific home would sell for today — for that you need a comparative market analysis. Resident demographics and housing-cost figures (income and its distribution, age, education, commute, tenure, household types, shelter costs, occupations and industries, mobility) and the building-type, bedroom and condition mix are from the 2021 federal census — the most recent neighbourhood-level vintage; the City notes it fell during the pandemic, so treat these figures as directional. Census figures are adapted from Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population; this does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada.
