The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released national sales statistics for August 2024.

National home sales increased in June following the Bank of Canada’s first interest rate cut since 2020, and activity posted another small gain in August on the heels of the second rate cut in late July, but the bigger picture appears to be a market mostly stuck in a holding pattern.

“Despite some fledgling signs of life to kick off the long-awaited monetary policy easing cycle, Canadian housing market activity still looks to be stuck in the same holding pattern it’s been in all year,” said Shaun Cathcart, CREA’sSenior Economist. “That said, with ever more friendly interest rates now all but guaranteed later this year and into 2025, it makes sense that prospective buyers might continue to hold off for improved affordability, especially since prices are still well-behaved in most of the country.”

Highlights of this report:

•              National home sales edged up 1.3% month-over-month in August.

•              Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 2.1% below August 2023.

•              The number of newly listed properties ticked up 1.1% month-over-month.

•              The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) was unchanged month-over-month but was down 3.9% year-over-year.

•              The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price was almost unchanged (+0.1%) on a year-over-year basis in August.

Saskatoon home sales took a downward dip in August falling by 63 units when compared to July’s impressive numbers. When the dust settled at the close of the month, 457 residential properties had changed hands, down a substantial 13 percent from the same month last year. Home sales for the local area remain higher on an annual basis by five percent.

Sales in the single-family homes category fell from 309 last August to 258 while the number of condos to sell slipped lower from 189 last year to 163.

For the second consecutive month, the number of new listings added to the MLS® grew, which is somewhat unusual at this time of the year. Saskatoon real estate agents added 719 residential properties to the database, up just a touch from 711 in July, and higher by 61 when compared to the new listings numbers from August of last year.

Softening sales and stronger new listings allowed the inventory of active listings on the multiple listing service® to grow to its highest point since September of last year. As the month drew to a close, there were 914 Saskatoon homes for sale, up 80 units from July, but lower than it was last year at this time when there were 1000 options for local buyers.

Months of supply grew from 1.6 last month to 2.0 In August, which while improved is still very firmly in seller’s market territory. Again, supply levels of less than four months signal a seller’s market. A supply of four to six months is considered balanced. A supply larger than six months would be a buyer’s market.

After reaching a new record high in July which led to a swift upward spike on our graph, the average sale price of a Saskatoon home headed lower and reported its lowest number since early this year at $389,684. This particular measure can tend to be a bit all over the place. Over time, it can trend one way or the other, but the sale of a handful of luxury homes can skew it higher, just as an absence can skew it lower.

The benchmark price of a single-family home as recorded on the MLS® Home Price Index saw a softer downward shift as it came down $3300 from last month to settle at $463,400 to take a ten percent annual increase.

Townhomes continued to move higher reaching $334,500 for a monthly increase of $2000 and an annual gain of ten percent.

Once again, apartment prices grew the most picking up $6100 from last month to reach $242,900 and claim an annual increase of 14 percent.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released national sales statistics for July 2024.

While there were early signs of renewed momentum in June following the Bank of Canada’s first interest rate cut since 2020, activity in Canada’s housing market took a pause in July.

 “With another rate cut announced on July 24, we’ve now seen two rate cuts in a row, and the expected pace of future policy easing has steepened considerably, with markets now anticipating rate cuts at every remaining Bank of Canada decision this year,” said Shaun Cathcart, CREA’s Senior Economist. “Combine that with a record amount of demand waiting in the wings, and the forecast for a rekindling of Canadian housing activity going into 2025 has just gone from a layup to a slam dunk.”

Highlights of this report:

•              National home sales edged back 0.7% month-over-month in July.

•              Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 4.8% above July 2023.

•              The number of newly listed properties ticked up 0.9% month-over-month.

•              The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) edged up 0.2% month-over-month but was down 3.9% year-over-year.

•              The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price was almost unchanged (-0.2%) on a year-over-year basis in July.

On the heels of a rare month that failed to produce annual gains,  the Saskatoon real estate market regained whatever momentum had been lost as we moved through July. Saskatoon REALTORS® reported 520 homes sold to the multiple listing service®, down 20 units from June, to beat last July’s numbers by almost five percent. As the month closed, sales were up 8.4 percent annually.

The single-family homes category slipped from 309 sales in June to 298 in July. That’s higher by 11 units compared to sales for the same month in 2023. Condo sales fell lower from 203 to 189 monthly, growing by 12 over last July’s numbers.

After a soft showing in June, new listing activity grew in July, which is a bit unusual but we’ll take it!

706 residential listings were added to the MLS®, an increase of 38 from June, and matching numbers produced last July.

Active listing inventory remained stable and at the end of the month, buyers had 834 listed properties from which to choose, 28 percent fewer options than could be found a year ago.

Months of supply grew modestly from 1.5 last month to 1.6 as July closed. Again, supply levels of less than four months signal a seller’s market.

Once again, the average price of a Saskatoon home pushed to a new high this month reaching $411,400, an increase of nearly 10K compared to June, and up ten percent annually.

The benchmark price of a single-family home in Saskatoon grew by about $3500 from last month to hit $466,700 to establish a new all-time high, up eight percent from a year earlier.

Townhouse prices picked up nearly $7k from last month to close July at $332,500 and claim an annual increase of 11 percent.

Apartment prices remained stable from last month at $237,800 and also grew annually by 11 percent.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released national sales statistics for June 2024.

Activity in Canada’s housing market saw some early signs of renewed life in June 2024, following the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cut at the beginning of the month.

“It wasn’t a ‘blow the doors off’ month by any means, but Canada’s housing numbers did perk up a bit on a month-over-month basis in June following the first Bank of Canada rate cut,” said Shaun Cathcart, CREA’s Senior Economist. “Year-over-year comparisons don’t look great mainly because of how many buyers were still jumping into the market last spring, but that’s a story about last year. What’s happening right now is that sales were up from May to June, market conditions tightened for the first time this year, and prices nationally ticked higher for the first time in 11 months.”

Highlights of this report:

• National home sales climbed 3.7% month-over-month in June.

• Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 9.4% below June 2023.

• The number of newly listed properties rose 1.5% month-over-month.

• The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) edged up 0.1% month-over-month but was down 3.4% year-over-year.

• The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price posted a 1.6% year-over-year decrease in June. Read the recently released national sales statistics for June of 2024.

The Saskatoon real estate market lost some of the strong momentum it’s been showing all year during June, as just 540 homes traded hands through the multiple listing service®. That does match sales for last June, but most months this year have shown solid year-over-year growth. Still, that was enough to close the first half of the year with year-to-date sales gains of 9.2 percent.

The single-family homes category held its own with 309 sales, down one from last June, while condo sales grew from 294 last year to 304 this June.

The remaining categories (lots, semi-detached, duplexes, etc.) lost a handful of sales to bring even the totals for the two successive Junes.

After showing promising growth for two consecutive months, new listing activity slowed falling more than 15 percent compared to last June to 668 homes. That’s about 25 percent below the ten-year average, but higher annually by 3.2 percent.

After reaching peak numbers in May, the inventory of Saskatoon homes for sale began to decline. We finished June with 834 active listings on the MLS®, down 43 from the previous month’s close, and down 228 from the same time last year.

Months of supply were steady at just 1.5 as the month closed. Again, supply levels of less than four months signal a seller’s market.

The average price of a Saskatoon home grew to a new all-time high this month reaching $401,949. That’s up from $397,200 at the close of May, and higher than it was at the end of June last year by 3.3 percent.

The benchmark price of a single-family home in Saskatoon rose by $7600 from last month to hit $462,500 to establish a new all-time high, up eight percent from a year earlier.

After a modest dip in May, townhomes came back from $325,600 at the close of May to $329,500, holding on the a ten percent year-over-year gain.

Apartments also recovered from a bit of a slide in May growing by $3500 to reach $237,800 and claiming a 14 percent annual gain.
