Good thinking!

Fat Lady Refined. Now THAT is funny.

I know some of you hate this but I have to share my captcha; declaring knobs

Vancouver Residential sales down over 42% with over 18,000 residential listings. Even by our standards that is so over the top. Yet, we are still seeing prices climb by 7%. Go figure. But if you ask we’ll tell you that the market is easing into a buyers market as the values are moderating.

Now on the bright side. I suspect that with all the FOR SALE signs it’s actually a quiet Realtor conspiracy to support our flagging lumber industry. We’re big on supporting our community. .>)

Weird. The actual map area on realtor.ca is slightly larger than the one on saskhouses on my monitor. I couldn’t say if they’re planning further changes, but because it runs on “Virtual Earth,” I expect that you’ll see satellite imagery added after Microsoft expands into this area later this year.

i don’t find the map too user friendly, too small, saskhouses is better, is this the final version?

interesting how many places are available in saskatoon when you can see on the map

The Canadian Real Estate Association just launched a new site which will eventually replace mls.ca. It uses a map based search.

Check it out at http://www.realtor.ca

does mls have something like it?

the map is good but places seem too expensive

i would like to try same for mls by a map

instead of searching by oversized mls zone

and having to choose price limits and hope they give address for google map

Clearly that’s the case now, but we should understand that the market will eventually find some balance. These problems will find a fix.

That’s why sales are back to pre boom levels, and inventory is way up, with more listers than sellers.

Norm, just my opinion, but the price of Edmonton housing, and Edmonton’s higher wages are what makes it a more attractive place to lure recent grads, or Ontario workers. I think their prices falling, and ours holding pretty constant over the last few months at about the same (higher?) makes it really tough for Saskatoon to attract new residents, or retain well educated science grads.

$339,548, up from $327,392 in May. It is my opinion that this is due to a larger number of sales in the 500+ range and not an indication that prices are up.

What was the average Saskatoon SFH selling price in June?

I don’t know but I think most people, like you, are sharp enough to know that the price of a home in Edmonton, or anywhere else for the matter, isn’t relevant here. Interesting though that it was put forward as a comparison with the comment, “down 8.6% from June 2007.”
