Saskatchewan’s housing market remained red-hot in October, recording 1,433 sales across the province, the second-highest total on record for the month. Although sales were down nearly six percent compared to last year’s record October, resale housing activity continues to outpace long-term trends.
There were 1,922 new listings throughout the month, up 11 percent year-over-year but still below long-term trends. Despite the welcome increase in new listings, near-record October sales resulted in inventory levels remaining nearly 50 percent below the 10-year average. At month’s end, 828 of the 4,483 active properties were reported conditionally sold and expected to exit the market, leaving 3,655 available units across the province heading into November.
“October marked the 28th consecutive month of above-average sales activity in Saskatchewan, an impressive streak that began in mid-2023,” noted Association CEO Chris Guérette. “Year-to-date sales remain over 20 percent above the 10-year average, keeping us on track to surpass 2024’s results, which was our second-strongest year on record.”
Saskatchewan reported a residential benchmark price of $362,700 in October, down from $368,300 in September. Despite the monthly decline, which aligns with typical seasonal trends, prices were up nearly six percent compared to October 2024.
“Notwithstanding persistent inventory constraints and broader economic uncertainty influenced by global factors, our market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience,” said Guérette. “What we’re seeing right now really speaks to the confidence people have in Saskatchewan’s housing market, and in our province as a whole.”

Regional Highlights
The Saskatoon-Biggar region was the only region to report year-over-year sales gains, which is not unexpected following a record month in October 2024. However, all regions except the Northern region reported sales well above long-term, 10-year trends.
As seen consistently throughout 2025, the Regina-Moose Mountain (2.63 months of supply) and Saskatoon-Biggar (2.38) continue to report the tightest market conditions in the province. However, all regions of the province are reporting inventory levels between 44 and 65 percent below the 10-year average.
Home prices continued to rise across every region of the province in October, as all Saskatchewan communities reported year-over-year benchmark price gains for the sixth consecutive month.
The City of Melville recorded the strongest benchmark price growth in October, as prices were up 22 percent year-over-year. Other notable gains included Yorkton (15 percent), Estevan (13 percent), Swift Current (13 percent), Humboldt (12 percent), and Weyburn (10 percent).
City of Regina
Regina reported 362 sales last month, two sales shy of the October sales record set in 2024 and 41 percent above the 10-year average.
Despite 447 new listings, near-record October sales failed to provide any inventory relief last month, as the Queen City is reporting less than two months of supply. Nearly 200 of the 720 active units were conditionally sold at month’s end, resulting in 532 available properties heading into November.
Regina reported a residential benchmark price of $335,100 in October, down from $337,000 in September. The slight price decrease aligns with typical seasonal trends, and prices were five percent higher than in October 2024.
City of Saskatoon
Saskatoon reported a record 455 sales in October, surpassing the prior record of 444 sales in October 2024, with sales 31 percent above the 10-year average.
New listings were up 33 percent year-over-year, providing some much-needed inventory relief in the province’s largest centre. However, the surge in new listings was met with record sales, and Saskatoon is still reporting less than two months of supply.
Of the 891 active units at month’s end, 229 were conditionally sold and expected to exit the market, resulting in 662 available properties heading into November.
Saskatoon reported a residential benchmark price of $421,100 in October, down from $431,400 the month prior. Despite the month-over-month price decline, prices were still five percent higher than those in October 2024.
