MARKET WATCH >> MAY 2023

MAY SALES ABOVE LONG-TERM TRENDS DESPITE PERSISTENT INVENTORY CHALLENGES June 5, 2023 For immediate release: There were 1,736 sales recorded across the province in May, resulting in a four per cent year-over-year decline. However, despite the year-over-year decline, sales levels were 20 per cent above long-term, 10-year averages. Stronger sales in May were possible due to recent monthly gains in new listings. While the seasonal boost in new listings also caused inventories to trend up over the last month, inventory levels remain lower than levels reported in the previous year. They are at their lowest level reported in May since 2008. While year-over-year inventory levels have improved for homes priced above $300,000, more was needed to offset the declines occurring in the lower price ranges. “Saskatchewan continues to benefit from a strong economy which is helping offset some of the impacts of higher lending rates, keeping sales activity above [...]

Aligning with seasonal trends, sales, and new listings trended up above levels seen earlier this year.

SASKATCHEWAN REMAINS RESILIENT AS INVENTORY CHALLENGES CONTINUE April 5, 2023 For immediate release: There were 1,213 sales recorded across the province in March, a 20 per cent year-over-year decline.
