For Immediate Release:
Saskatchewan reported 1,179 sales in November, marking the second-highest monthly sales volume ever for the month. This represents an 18 percent increase compared to November 2023 and 27 percent above the 10-year historical average. Sales growth was widespread, with nearly all regions of the province contributing to a nine percent year-to-date sales increase.
November marked the seventeenth consecutive month of above-average sales, which coincided with a drop in new listings. This imbalance further reduced inventory levels, which declined by 23 percent year-over-year and currently sit nearly 45 percent below the long-term, 10-year averages—the lowest for November since 2007.
“As 2024 draws to a close, it’s shaping up to be one of the strongest years on record for our province,” said Association CEO Chris Guérette. “Given the ongoing inventory challenges in many Saskatchewan markets, the fact that we’re reporting above-average sales for 17 consecutive months is unprecedented.”
With inventory tightening and demand remaining strong, Saskatchewan reported 3.6 months of supply in November. While this is a slight increase from October, it remains well below typical seasonal levels. These tight market conditions continue to drive price growth, with many communities across the province reporting year-over-year benchmark price increases.
The province’s residential benchmark price stood at $338,400 in November, slightly down from $343,400 in October. However, this seasonal decline aligns with historical patterns, and the November price remains over five percent higher than the same time last year.
“Saskatchewan’s housing market continues to exceed expectations and defy many seasonal trends,” noted Association CEO Chris Guérette. “After a record-breaking October, November delivered the second-highest sales on record for the month, underscoring the sustained strength of housing demand across the province.”
City of Regina
The City of Regina reported 273 sales in November, an increase of 14 percent year-over-year and over 28 percent above long-term, 10-year trends. These strong sales figures pushed Regina’s year-to-date total to 3,720—a record high for sales through November.
Although there was a modest increase in new listings during the month, inventory levels continued to decline, dropping 34 percent compared to last year and sitting nearly 50 percent below the 10-year average.
Regina’s residential benchmark price was $313,700 in November, down from $321,000 in October, consistent with seasonal trends. Despite the monthly decline, the benchmark price remains nearly four percent higher than in November 2023.
