There are many benefits when working with a Saskatoon Century 21 real estate agent, but one that no other Saskatoon Realtor can offer is providing their clients Air Miles.  Century 21 Canada is the only real estate organization in Canada that offers Air Miles.  Just recently Century 21 signed their renewal contract with Air Miles to ensure they continue to provide this great benefit to their clients.  If you are unfamiliar with the Air Milesprogram, it is a great program that is free to join.  Essentially when you purchase items at Air Miles sponsors you earn points that you can later redeem for everything ranging from gift certificates for gas to flights to your favorite destinations.  When purchasing a home with a Century 21 Saskatoon Real Estate agent you earn 2 Air Miles Reward Miles for every $1000 property value you buy or sell.  As you can imagine this adds up quite quickly and is a huge bonus for people buying and selling property.  Be sure when buying or selling a home in Saskatoon or the surrounding area to work with a Century 21 Realtor and earn Air Miles to put towards anything from a new item for your home or towards your dream vacation.  Be sure to contact me to find out additional information on the Air Miles Reward Program and the Saskatoon real estate market!

The population of Saskatchewan was the fastest growing in Canada in 2007 according to a recent article.  The Canadian national average for growth in 2007 was 1.1 per cent and Saskatchewan in 2007 had a 1.7 per cent population growth.  This is Saskatchewan’s largest population growth in one year since 1952.  As of January 1, 2008 the estimated population of Saskatchewan is 1,006,644.  In 2007 there were also 6,950 more people that moved from Alberta to Saskatchewan than from Saskatchewan to Alberta.  The total amount of people that moved to Saskatchewan in 2007 is estimated at over 16,000 people.  As a Saskatoon real estate agent I can confirm that in Saskatoon alone we have seen a huge influx of people moving here and especially from Alberta.  Our province provides an affordable and quality lifestyle most people can’t achieve anywhere else in our country.  I am currently working with several people relocating back to our province that moved away years ago.  Many of them still have family here and are looking at coming back to be closer to family and also enjoy the quality of life Saskatoon provides its residents.  The Saskatoon real estate market is a direct indicator at the success our province has experienced as well as the population growth.  The vacancy rate for both residential and commercial property are at the lowest points they have been in for years.  The Saskatchewan economy is extremely strong and there are no signs of it slowing down.  If you are interested in getting involved in the Saskatoon real estate market be sure to contact me and I will be able to provide you in depth information on our current market and provide you an idea of what is available.
