We must remember that our wages didn't go up according to the housing prices. They say the housing prices are catching up to what they should of been but we must remember that our wages were lower. So when you even it all out the housing market was not under priced according to our wages. Now we must hope that the interest rates don't go up to what they were in the early 80's. If they do look out for all the forclosures that will be in Saskatoon. When will the prices go down in this false boom? We must remember that our wages didn’t go up according to the housing prices.

It does seem that people have really changed their thinking and are much more comfortable investing large amounts of money in their homes. Perhaps it's because real estate has proven itself to be a pretty stable investment over the years. Hundreds of higher end homes have been built in Saskatoon in recent years. On top of that, there have been a considerable number of "luxury homes" built just outside of the city where half million dollar houses are the norm. Casa Rio and the newer development called "The Willows" are good examples. Building sites in those spots sold very quickly. When I first started in this business the average selling price in Saskatoon was $83,000. I can clearly remember that $200,000 was the mark where it became difficult to market a home as there just weren't that many people who would be willing to buy above that point. Now, it's a challenge to find many good houses priced below that mark. Thanks for your visit and the feedback. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling at home. Hi Donna.

That's just amazing to me. Every time I visit your city it seems to have grown some more and there sure have been a lot of expensive homes built in the area over the last few years. I'm really enjoying following your blog and it makes me feel connected to my home. Thanks Norm. A million dollar home in Saskatoon? That’s just amazing to me.
