Saskatoon housing shortage: Some people are really hurting

It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of this booming real estate market. If you’re not careful, you can miss some really important stuff.


Some people are really hurting.


He’s here. She’s there, with the kids. They can’t find a home, but they have to be out of the one they currently own in less than a month. They’ve tried hard, sometimes bidding up to $20,000 over the asking price. Someone always seems to outbid them and the next home that comes on the market always seems to be more money. They don’t know where they’ll end up.


Meantime, investors are sending money from all over the country. They all want a little piece of the Saskatoon real estate action.  It's the "next Calgary," don't you know?


Don’t get me wrong. I don’t resent you and I recognize your right to invest in this community.I just know where I want to focus my efforts right now and it’s not on spreadsheets.


If you want to talk cap rates, income and expenses, and property management, please, call another agent.  I’ll be busy helping someone find a home.


I’m always happy to answer your Saskatoon real estate questions.
