Saskatoon real estate week in review for November 4-10, 2018 (edition #609)


Saskatoon real estate sales in the residential category fell lower for the sixth week in a row as winter conditions took a firm hold on the market. Local agents reported just 39 firm sales this week, down six from last week, and falling short of sales recorded during the same period last year by 33 units. This is the fifth consecutive week during which sales fell on a year-over-year basis.


New listing activity was also sharply lower as Saskatoon real estate agents added just 119 new listings to the multiple listing service®. That number is lower than the previous week by 32. During the same week last year 161 Saskatoon homes came onto the MLS®.


sales


The total number of Saskatoon homes available to buyers on the MLS® was stable on a weekly basis. As of this morning, 1749 such properties could be found in the “active” category, down just one from a week earlier. A year ago there were 1910 homes for sale on the system. Condo inventory sits at 651, down from 685 a year ago. The number of detached single-family homes for sale is now at 987, down from 1107 on this date last year.


actives


Both the weekly median sale price and the average sale price of a Saskatoon home took marginal gains this week to $344,713 and $337,000 respectively. The six-week average price inched higher by seven hundred dollars from the last period to reach $327,856. That’s about ten thousand dollars lower than it was a year ago. The four-week median price slipped to $315,950 to finish the week down on an annual basis by $11,500.


price


For the first time in a few weeks we have one house that sold for more than the asking price. The typical Silverwood Heights four-level split sold $3100 above the seller’s list price. Meanwhile, 37 of the week’s sales went below the list price and netted buyers and average discount of $13,143.


More weekly stats and numbers for those who love them.
