Because it’s a smaller community, housing prices are lower than most cities — though they tend to be slightly higher than other towns of its size due to the thriving oil sands industry. Here are some of the most commonly-listed types of property for sale in Fort McMurray:
-
Apartments & Condos – Apartments for sale in Fort McMurray are relatively common. Many people move to Fort Mac to work and don’t tend to need as much space as, say, a growing family.

They also tend to be larger than apartments and condos, making them an ideal option for families that are growing, but don’t yet need a full-sized house.
-
