Edmonton area profile
Ellerslie
Covers Ellerslie, Summerside and the southeast's newest communities (The Orchards, Walker).
Ellerslie groups 9 Edmonton neighbourhoods — about 18,742 homes, 79.2% houses and 20.8% condos. The typical (median) house is assessed around $503,000, 12% above the citywide median; condos around $244,000. Median assessed value changed +27% from 2012 to 2025 — a stretch when the area was still building out, so that's value and a changing mix of homes. 78% of homes are owner-occupied, the average household income is about $127,642. Area figures are averages and City assessed values — directional, not sale prices ("typical" means the median; averages are noted as such).
“Ellerslie” follows the City of Edmonton's official Ellerslie planning district — one of 15 the City uses to group its 300+ neighbourhoods. Figures roll up the City's 2025 assessed values and the 2021 federal census across the area's neighbourhoods. Where a median can't be combined across neighbourhoods (income, age, shelter), the page shows the average instead — so those read higher than the medians on the neighbourhood pages and aren't directly comparable.

StatCan defines a "visible minority" as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour" (Employment Equity Act) — so Indigenous residents are counted separately, and the "not a visible minority" share is predominantly residents who identify as white.

The market
How assessed values have moved, and how much has been built.
Assessed value over time
The median assessed house value changed +27% from 2012 to 2025.
This area was still building out over the window, so the line reflects both value change AND a changing mix of homes as it grew — read it as directional.
Building activity
Since 2015: 14,090 building permits and 10,500 net new units, plus 1,165 secondary suites.
Permits, units & suites year by year
Permits count every new home — including purpose-built rental and mixed-use buildings — so the yearly units can run above the owned house/condo count above. “Units” are net of demolitions, so a redeveloping year can read negative; “suites” are secondary-suite permits (basement / garden / garage suites).

About these figures. Area figures roll up the City's mass-appraisal assessed values and the 2021 federal census across this district's neighbourhoods — a directional, comparative signal, not the price a specific home would sell for. Income, age and shelter figures are averages (labelled), which read higher than medians and aren't directly comparable to the neighbourhood pages.
