Saskatoon Real Estate Market: January 2024 Snapshot

In January 2024, Saskatoon's housing market was buzzing, reflected in both the sales volume and average sale price movements.

Inventory

As of February 1, 2024 there were 698 homes listed on the Saskatoon MLS. January experienced a slight downturn in the number of new listings, which totalled 364, marking a 12% decrease both for the month and YTD when compared to the previous year's count of 414 new listings in January. This reduction suggests a tightening market, where demand could potentially outstrip supply. This means, as a seller, you'd find a bit less competition for your listing. There are fewer homes on the market, making it a bit easier for your listing to stand out.

Sales Volume

Sales performance saw a significant increase, with the number of properties sold rising by 22% for the month, as well as year-to-date (YTD), reaching a total of 245 sales. This marked a considerable growth compared to the same period last year, which recorded 201 sales, translating to an increase of 44 units. Such an upward trend underscores a growing buyer interest which is pretty great news for sellers.

Average Price

Also, for sellers, it keeps getting better. The average price for a home sold in January was $385,259, which is a pretty big jump—about 10.8% more than last year. So, homes are not only selling, but they're also selling for more.

Summary

All in all, January was a great month for Saskatoon's real estate market. More homes were sold, there were fewer new listings, and prices were up. It's a good time to be selling a house in Saskatoon!

Saskatoon Real Estate Market Statistics at a glance:

October 2023 Market Update

Hey there! As the leaves turn golden this October and we cozy up for fall, it's a great time to chat about the housing scene. Right now, home sales in Saskatoon are buzzing. Why? Well, there aren't many houses available, to begin with. Yes, interest rates have ticked up a bit, but that hasn't slowed folks down. People still really want homes in our area, way more than those rates are discouraging them.

September Stats: In September 2023, Saskatoon's real estate landscape revealed a mix of trends. Active listings for the month totaled 980, with single-family homes leading the pack at 712 and condos following with 268 units. It's noteworthy that out of these condos, 171 were of the apartment-style. However, there was a dip in fresh entries to the market, with new listings for the month at 575, marking a 9% drop from September 2022.

Sales painted a brighter picture with 374 properties changing hands, reflecting a 14% increase compared to the same period the previous year. The average sale price edged upwards too, reaching $375,301— a modest growth of 0.75% from September 2022.

It's evident that while the volume of new listings reduced, the demand and value of properties in Saskatoon continued to show resilience and growth.

When tuning into national TV or flipping through major newspapers, it's clear that a lot of their housing coverage centers around big Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver. But it's crucial to remember that what happens there doesn't always mirror our local market in Saskatoon.

Here's a fun fact: even with the current prices and those interest rates, Saskatoon stands strong as one of the top three most affordable spots to live in Canada. If those rates take a dip? With so many people eyeing our homes, prices could go up even more.

So, what's the play? You could buy now, lock in a decent price, but face that slightly higher interest rate. Or, wait it out, hoping for a lower rate but risk paying more for the house itself. If you choose the waiting game, remember you'll be shelling out more upfront and miss out on a few good years of paying down that mortgage. Contact us if you have any questions about the current market in Saskatoon, or if you're planning to buy or sell.

Saskatoon Real Estate Market Update - June 2021


Summer is almost officially here, and the weather is getting hotter in Saskatoon! Can we expect the summer real estate market to stay hot as well?


Our Summer 2021 Real Estate Market Preview is here! We are going to review the stats from the past month, and share our predictions for the summer season, and what you need to know if you plan to buy or sell.


Let’s take a look at the stats from May 2021...


Home sales are very strong


In May, there were 576 home sales which represents an increase in sales of +77% compared to May 2020 where we only saw 326 sales.


This is the third month in a row where sales have been over 500 homes - there were 570 sales in March, 550 in April and now 576 in May. This is an unusually high volume of consistent sales. The big question is, will this be able to continue?


If we try to determine the possible underlying cause for these consistently strong sales volumes, we could use the theory that COVID-19 has left many people with more disposable income right now as they aren’t spending money on things like vacations and going out. People have also been at home more, and have become more aware of some of the limitations to their existing spaces, like a lack of home office space, or recreation space. More people have the money available right now to consider upgrading their space to something that solves those problems.


This means that when things start to return to normal, with more vaccinations, and the relaxing of all of the restrictions, and people start spending what they used to spend, or more, on vacations and going out, this could result in less funds available to spend on property.


This leads to our prediction that this strong market will likely continue over the next couple of summer months while COVID-19 restrictions are still in effect, but as things relax in the fall we could see a softening of the market.


Inventories are going up


2021 started with extremely low listing Inventories, but we have seen an increasing number of listings being added to the MLS each month. There are currently approximately 1544 active listings on the MLS. There were 1015 new listings posted in May which is up +34% compared to May 2020, where we only saw 755 new listings.


When you consider the supply and demand equation, the more listings there are available in the market, the more competition there is for your property. If the number of listings continues to rise, this will eventually slow down the sellers market a bit. But we don’t expect to see this until closer to the fall.


Home prices surge


We’ve also seen a consistent surge in home prices over the last several months. In January, we started the year with an average sales price of $348,352, then $353,542 in February, $362,222 in March, $372,532 in April, and then $386,578 in May. May’s average sales price is an increase of almost +7.6% MTD compared to May 2020.


Part of the reason for this surge in average home prices is the significant increase in sales in homes over $750,000. In May, there were 6 homes sold that were worth over a million dollars. This is an unusually high volume of sales in that price category for one month. This increase in high worth property sales, does influence the average sales price overall.

So...after reviewing the stats from May, and our predictions for the rest of the summer, what does this mean for you as a buyer or seller?


What does this mean for you?


As a seller, it means that you should consider getting your home on the market sooner rather than later, as right now is still an IDEAL time to list your home in Saskatoon.

We are optimistic that this hot market will likely continue over the next few summer months, but once things start returning to normal we predict it might be hard for these current market conditions to continue. So to reiterate NOW is the time to get your home listed! Don’t wait!

For buyers, we are seeing more and more listings being posted to the MLS. This means there continues to be more selection for you to choose from when searching for your dream home. We can help guide you in the offer process to ensure you have the best chance of getting the home you want, when you find it.

As always, if you would like any information on buying or selling your home, or about the real estate market in general in Saskatoon, don’t hesitate to contact either of us.

Thanks again and see you next month!

The Saskatoon Real Estate Market is HOT!


We recently received the housing statistics for the month of July and we want to share our thoughts on the current market with you.


Check out the top 3 things we think you need to know about the Saskatoon Real Estate Market right now:


Sales Volumes are Up



The number of home sales are up +41% for the month of July (this is comparing sales volumes against July 2019). This is a staggering increase in sales and it confirms that Saskatoon is an extremely HOT market right now.


Sales volumes are up 4.1% year to date (YTD) (this is comparing sales volumes for the entire year as of the end of July 2019). This is an impressive statistic considering sales in June 2020 were down -3.6% YTD. Within the span of a month, we've caught up to sales volumes from 2019. This is quite surprising considering we are dealing with a pandemic right now, and you would expect our market to have slowed down because of it.


58 of the 550 sales in July were $500K and above. This shows great confidence in the market from high end buyers.



Sales Prices are Up



Sales prices are up +5.6% MTD and +3.1% YTD. This is calculated by taking the average sales price of each transaction from the previous month.


The thing to note about these stats is that, as we mentioned above, 58 of the 550 sales in July were $500K and above. Higher end homes are selling which increases the overall average price. As a result, these stats don't necessarily mean that home values have increased.


Supply is Down



The supply of listings in Saskatoon is down.


There are 1506 active listings. 935 of those are single family homes, 571 are condos and 213 are townhouses. Listings are down 9% YTD, but it is important to remember that listings were at record high levels for the past two years. This doesn’t mean that there is no inventory to look at, it just means that buyers may have to make their decision on putting an offer in on a home a little quicker.


There is less than a 3 months supply of homes that are priced between $200K to $500K. This lack of supply indicates that for homes in that range it is a sellers market. Therefore, if you have a home priced correctly in this market it WILL sell quickly.


The market is a bit different for homes priced $500K and above. There is over 4 months supply of listings in this range which indicates that it is a Buyers Market. Although, as we have already mentioned we are still seeing strong sales over $500K.


Contact Tait Real Estate if you are looking to buy or sell in Saskatoon and area.
