There is one word that can be used to describe residential real estate activity for July in every major market in Canada - down. Some markets are down more than others. I could find only one that is down less than we are. Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been able to dig up today.
Market
Down
Vancouver
45%
Victoria
44%
Calgary
42%
Edmonton
42%
Toronto
34%
Halifax
33%
Regina
28%
Ottawa
27%
Montreal
26%
Saskatoon
18%
Winnipeg
13%
So, you see, things could be a little better, but they could be a whole lot worse.
Maybe it really is different here. :)

Licensed in 1993, Norm brings a wealth of experience to TeamFisher. He has worked in every imaginable capacity including sales agent, office manager, team leader, broker and now, broker/owner. Norm has written a weekly review of the Saskatoon real estate market for more than 650 consecutive weeks which may make him the most consistent industry blogger in the world.
Norm is known for his passion for technology and can most often be found exploring and experimenting with the next big thing in real estate marketing. He was the first Saskatoon real estate agent to promote a home online and has been an early adopter of new technologies ever since. “Everything about this business has changed over the past 20 years, and it will happen again in the next ten. An open mind and a curious attitude are all that’s needed to continue to find new ways to serve our clients by delivering a faster, smoother, worry-free transaction,” says Norm.
In his spare time, Norm enjoys Crossfit and cycling, some years accumulating over 2,000 kilometres on the road. He’s a strong supporter of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and enjoys raising funds by joining fun, fitness-related initiatives like the Grouse Grind for Shelter. In 2015, he trekked the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu. In 2017 he walked the southern highlands of Iceland across mountains, sand, snow, ice, lava fields and forest for seven days. Collectively those initiatives raised over a million dollars for Canadian women's shelters.
