Oddly, there was an 875K in Friday's numbers which only produced a $268 average. George, Apparently, <a href="http://www.thestarphoenix.com/Housing+prices+fall+sales+rise+Royal+LePage/1767353/story.html" rel="nofollow">house prices really can fall,</a> and Royal LePage is reporting some hefty declines through out Western Canada today. It should come as no surprise that sales are strong given the ridiculous interest rates we have seen lately. Bookrat,

Apparently, house prices really can fall, and Royal LePage is reporting some hefty declines through out Western Canada today. It should come as no surprise that sales are strong given the ridiculous interest rates we have seen lately.

The housing slump is over. Real estate only goes up. This is only the beginning. Buy now or forever be priced out. :) (warning: forever can mean a couple of years) Bookrat,

I guess they are starting to look a little dated. These homes fetch a pretty good dollar but there isn't a high turnover there. There have only been a couple of units sold there in the past couple of years. The large bungalows are particularly appealing to affluent seniors seeking a little more freedom from exterior upkeep. Well maintained, pretty secure and some nice amenities like a putting green, tennis court and a pool. How cheap can you get into the area for? There's an 1122 square foot bungalow style townhome with a single garage and a full basement available at 636 for 299.9. "by following only area 3 you will have a close idea of what average prices are doing in Saskatoon, would you agree with that assesment?" I don't think I would agree with that Rick. Area 3 is given to fairly large price swings, and I would suggest that it could be the most challenging of the five areas to guage by "averages." I find that it's more about property type than anything. In other words, a 1000 square foot bungalow in area 1, 2 or 3 has been impacted roughly the same percentage amount (10%), and a 2000 square foot two storey has also come down about the same percentage (15%) regardless of where it's located. “pure dated quality”

How cheap can you get into the area for, and secondly is their any property's that strike you as offering significantly good value. There is a gated community over there that looks like pure dated quality, which currently has 1 townhouse listed with Remax , do you have any thoughts regarding this property, the complex that is not the specific listing.
