Market Dynamics

Even with fewer homes for sale, the eagerness to buy, especially higher-priced homes, is keeping our market vibrant. Higher mortgage rates and rising home prices have created a push for more affordable homes. However, with fewer options, buyers need to act quickly and be prepared to compete.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, this means being ready to move fast and possibly face bidding wars, especially in the mid to higher price ranges. For sellers, it’s a fantastic time to list your home with demand being so high.

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!

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.
