SASKATCHEWAN ON PACE TO SURPASS 2024 SALES LEVELS AS NOVEMBER ACTIVITY HOLDS STEADY

SASKATCHEWAN ON PACE TO SURPASS 2024 SALES LEVELS AS NOVEMBER ACTIVITY HOLDS STEADY
Saskatchewan’s housing market posted another strong month in November, marking the province’s 29th consecutive month of above-average sales and keeping year-to-date activity on track to surpass 2024 levels with 15,430 sales to date. Saskatchewan reported 1,073 sales in November, a decrease of 106 sales, or nine percent, compared to November 2024. However, despite the year-over-year decline, monthly sales were over 12 percent above long-term, 10-year averages, underscoring the continued momentum across Saskatchewan’s housing market.
 
“November’s statistics reinforce what we have been seeing all year,” said Association CEO Chris Guérette. “Strong demand, resilient activity and a market that continues to outperform expectations. We are on pace to exceed last year’s near-record sales, and we are doing that with significantly less inventory. That speaks to the strength of Saskatchewan’s industry and the confidence buyers have in this province.”
 
There were 1,376 new listings throughout the month, up slightly compared to November 2024 but still well below historical averages. Despite moderate new listing relief, inventory levels are currently 45 percent below the 10-year average. With 708 of the 4,165 active properties reported conditionally sold and expected to exit the market, there were 3,457 available units across the province at the end of November.
 
Saskatchewan reported a residential benchmark price of $360,500 in November, down from $362,700 in October. While the modest monthly decline aligns with typical seasonal trends, the residential benchmark price increased by over seven percent compared to November 2024.
 
“Buyers continue to show confidence in our market despite tight conditions, and strong permit and start figures are encouraging,” said Guérette. “But we can’t overlook the impact of short-term policy proposals that restrict supply. Band-aid measures, like rent control, don’t create more homes; they simply make it harder for people to find them. Saskatchewan’s momentum depends on a coordinated, supply-focused approach from decision makers heading into 2026.”
