NEAR-RECORD SEPTEMBER SALES DRIVEN BY STRONG DETACHED ACTIVITY October 4, 2024 For immediate release: Saskatchewan reported 1,398 sales in September, an eight percent year-over-year increase and nearly 15 percent above long-term, 10-year trends. September marked the fifteenth consecutive month of above-average sales in Saskatchewan, with sales levels across the province amongst the strongest ever reported for the month.

SASKATCHEWAN’S HOUSING LEADERS LAUNCH HOUSING BLUEPRINT AHEAD OF PROVINCIAL ELECTION
SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Saskatchewan’s Housing Leaders have released Secure Homes, Strong Future: A Housing Policy Blueprint for Saskatchewan ahead of the 2024 provincial election. The blueprint is built on grassroots consultations and expert research within the housing industry - providing insights and recommendations to support Saskatchewan’s housing continuum. Saskatchewan’s residential housing industry, including construction, rental, and real estate, faces a significant gap in housing inventory to accommodate future population growth. Secure Homes, Strong Future focuses on policy amendments and funding investments to support the province’s residential housing industry and provide homes for Saskatchewan’s growing population. Saskatchewan continues to attract, house, and employ people at record levels – a growing province means more housing units are required to ensure that the Saskatchewan advantage remains intact,” stated Saskatchewan’s Housing Leaders. “Our plan proposes common-sense ideas to build more affordable homes faster by improving affordability, unlocking development, lowering construction costs, [...]
MARKET WATCH >> AUGUST 2024
ABOVE-AVERAGE SALES CONTINUE TO DRIVE PRICE GROWTH IN AUGUST September 5, 2024 For immediate release: Saskatchewan reported 1,507 sales in August, a seven per cent year-over-year decrease but over 12 per cent above long-term, 10-year averages. Despite a slight pullback in sales, August marked the fourteenth consecutive month of above-average sales, and year-to-date sales remain seven per cent higher than levels reported last year. A modest gain in new listings relative to sales resulted in the sales-to-new-listings ratio trending down from levels reported over the last few months, preventing an even more significant monthly decline in inventory levels. However, inventory levels slid by 17 per cent year-over-year and remain 40 per cent below long-term averages. “Unlike many other parts of the country, sales in our province continue to outperform historical averages for a fourteenth consecutive month,” noted Association CEO, Chris Guérette. “Saskatchewan’s relative affordability, when paired with employment gains [...]
MARKET WATCH >> JULY 2024
STRONG SALES CONTINUE IN JULY DESPITE ONGOING INVENTORY PRESSURES August 7, 2024 For immediate release: Saskatchewan reported 1,667 sales in July, a seven per cent year-over-year gain and over 20 per cent above long-term, 10-year averages. The thirteenth consecutive month of above-average sales in the province has contributed to year-to-date sales that were 10 per cent above July 2023 and 19 per cent above the 10-year average. While new listings saw a modest year-over-year gain, this had little impact on inventory levels, which were down 20 per cent year-over-year and remain over 40 per cent below long-term trends. “Strong housing demand continues to support above-average monthly sales levels, preventing any significant inventory relief in many markets across the province,” said Association CEO, Chris Guérette. “Limited supply choice, specifically in the more affordable segment of the market, is likely preventing even stronger sales activity in our province.” Saskatchewan reported a [...]
