As Saskatoon continues to grow, new home construction remains essential in addressing both population expansion and housing shortages. With inventory levels across the city remaining low, newly built homes are key to create a balanced and sustainable housing market.

A recent policy shift by the City of Saskatoon has opened new possibilities for builders and buyers alike: basement suites are now permitted in semi-detached homes. This change is expected to encourage the development of more affordable multi-family options, making better use of available land and offering added income potential for homeowners.

Development is active on both sides of the city. On Saskatoon’s east side, neighbourhoods like Brighton and Aspen Ridge are leading the way with…

Before you start browsing listings and booking home viewings, there’s one critical step every buyer should take—getting mortgage pre-approval. Not only does this help define your budget, but it also shows sellers you’re serious and financially ready.

Why Saskatoon's Real Estate Market Continues to Thrive

As Saskatchewan’s largest city, Saskatoon offers a vibrant and ever-evolving real estate landscape. The city has experienced consistent growth over the years, with a strong demand for housing driven by a diverse population, expanding job market, and an active development scene.

As a real estate professional in Saskatoon for over 15 years, I’ve seen many shifts in the housing market—but this year has brought a new kind of conversation to the table: what a home is listed for may not reflect what it will sell for.

Saskatoon’s housing market continues to experience low inventory and high buyer demand, resulting in multiple offers and sale prices soaring $10,000, $20,000, and even $50,000 above list price. It’s a tough reality for many buyers who are just starting their home search. In fact, the most difficult conversations I’m having with clients right now aren’t about finding the perfect home—they’re about adjusting expectations and understanding true market value.

That doesn’t mean every home sells above asking. Some are still…

With inventory at historically low levels and the demand for housing steadily rising, this move by city council offers a practical solution. By legalizing secondary suites in semi-detached dwellings, Saskatoon is empowering current homeowners to generate rental income from their properties and making it easier for buyers to qualify for a mortgage using…
