Happy Halloween!
Up against an unusually strong week for the same period last year, Saskatoon real estate sales fell substantially lower this week to just 63 homes, down from 109 last year, for a weekly decline of 14. New listings moved in the opposite direction growing by ten when compared to the same week a year ago to reach 167, for a weekly gain of 17.
In spite of weaker sales and higher levels of new listings, inventory saw modest declines as 50 listings expired without a sale and came off of the MLS® system. The total number of residential listings on the Saskatoon multiple listing service® sits at 1962 this morning, its lowest point since mid May. Still, that’s just 20 fewer than there were a week ago, and 448 more homes than were available a year ago. Single-family homes inventory sits at 1130 today, down just five from last week’s close, and up from 911 on this date a year ago. Condo inventory slips from 672 last week to 661 today for an annual increase of 208 units. Another 66 listings will expire over the weekend, most likely bringing totals just below 1900 for the first time since the middle of April when it sat at 1869. Thats said, listing have increased during the first week of the month in each of the last four months as sellers rushed to get there listing active again.
