August was a busy month in the Saskatoon real estate community. There were 415 houses or condos in Saskatoon that sold which is up from 311 the year before. Our year to date sales in the Saskatoon real estate market is also up 12% to 2819 with the average days on market in Saskatoon being 38 days. The most active price range of houses for sale in Saskatoon continues to be the $300,000 to $350,000. If you are thinking of selling your house contact me as I would love to help you sell your house in Saskatoon or surrounding area.

Average house price in Saskatoon is also up from last year but the monthly average house price can be deceiving as we take the total number of sales divided into the total value and if there were more high end homes in that month the average house price in Saskatoon would appear to be higher than a month when more lower end homes sold.

We also listed fewer properties for sale in Saskatoon in August from the previous year with 629 new listings but overall we are up 3% from the yeaer before. There are less houses available to potential consumers than last year. I just listed a great house for sale in Hudson Bay Park and am hoping to have an offer sorted out on it shortly!

Activity is also picking up in the areas around Saskatoon such as Martensville, Warman, Osler, etc with the sales increasing 31% from last August’s number and the average days on market is 55 days for these areas.

It is forecasted that interest rates will remain unchanged for the time being which means it is a great time to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon and it is forecasted that we will have a good balanced market for the remainder of 2011 meaning prices should stay level to a slight increase depending on demand.

If you are looking to buy a house in Saskatoon and you need a good Saskatoon realtor to help you out please contact me and I would love to help you purchase a home for sale in or around Saskatoon.

I just listed a great home for sale in Saskatoon in the great neighbourhood of Hudson Bay Park. This home, across from Henry Kelsey School and park, has many newer windows, newer Bosch dishwasher, bright kitchen/dining room, and refinished gleaming hardwood floors in living room, halls and bedrooms.

Three bedrooms up and one bedroom down plus two bathrooms make this one of the greatest houses for sale in Saskatoon in the Hudson Bay Park area. Oversized single detached garage plus plenty of storage in carport and shed.

Across from Ecole Henry Kelsey this school offers a single stream French Immersion education which means French is the working language of the school. They even offer a ‘late’ French Immersion program for students in Grade 6 who have not been in French Immersion. A wonderful opportunity for your family and this great house for sale in Saskatoon across the road is a great start for your family.

If you are looking for a Saskatoon Real Estate agent to help you sift through many of the houses for sale in Saskatoon and find the one that is right for you and your family, please contact me and I would be happy to become your dedicated Saskatoon realtor (r).
