This week, there were forty-four cancelled and withdrawn listings removed from the MLS®. Twenty-nine of those immediately returned to the system as a new listing. The number of price adjustments moved sharply higher again to ninety-five as Saskatoon home sellers attempted to reposition hoping to find themselves in the sales column next week.
The median selling price of a Saskatoon home slipped after showing gains for the past couple of weeks. It slid nearly thirteen thousand dollars to $295,000.
