This week, Saskatoon real estate sales numbers came off of the previous week’s big bounce and slipped to their lowest point since early April. Local agents reported just 68 house and condominium sales to the Saskatoon multiple listings service®, down 26 properties from last week to finish a whopping 35 sales below numbers generated during the same week last year.
New Saskatoon real estate listings also increased on a weekly basis growing by 11 to hit 117. Last year during the same week, Saskatoon real estate agents brought just 104 new listings to the MLS® service.

The roll on sales exceeding one-million dollars continued for the fourth consecutive week. That big number spread over a smaller number of sales pushed the average sale price of a Saskatoon home higher, towards our annual peak to reach $357,391. The median sale price followed along and grew to $330,700. The six-week median price edged higher by about eight thousand dollars on the week to reach $345,708 and claimed a year-over-year gain of about thirty-three thousand dollars or roughly ten percent. The four-week median price inched up about a thousand dollars from the previous week to $326,500 and managed a year-over-year increase of about thirty-four thousand dollars.
