Summer generally slows down home sales in Saskatoon as many people are off enjoying our few nice months out of the year. Whether it be at the abundant lakes we have in Saskatchewan or families taking vacations out of province, every Friday it seems the roads are packed to get out of the city of Saskatoon.
From August 23-August 30th there were 136 new listings hitting the Saskatoon real estate market, down from 178 and 146 the 2 weeks prior. Saskatoon home sales were also up with 91 Saskatoon houses for sale going last week from 74 and 71 in the 2 weeks before.
We have a total of 1385 properties for sale in Saskatoon. There are 814 houses for sale in Saskatoon and 571 condos for sale in Saskatoon (or other not single family dwellings).
There are 1261 properties for sale near Saskatoon.
If you are thinking of listing your house for sale in Saskatoon give me a call. If you are thinking about buying a house for sale in Sasktoon I also work with a lot of buyers. I am a very active realtor in Saskatoon so that means I am up to date on what is happening each week in the Saskatoon real estate community.

The Saskatchewan Region Association of Realtors has reported that Saskatoon home sales have softened in July 2010 compared to July 2009 where it was down 18 %. The overall year to date numbers of real estate in Saskatoon that has sold is down 4%. The most active price range for houses for sale in Saskatoon that have been sold is between $300,000 and $350,000. It is important for Saskatoon home sellers to know that every house for sale in Saskatoon will eventually sell, it just comes down to price and how your Saskatoon realtor markets it for you.
Despite the small slow down of Saskatoon real estate the average selling price has gone up since the same time last year by over $6000. July’s average Saskatoon house sale price was $289,715 this year. The average year to date selling price is up 5% from 2009 at $290,515. So it is still a great time to list your house for sale in Saskatoon with a Saskatoon realtor such as myself!
By the end of July Saskatoon home buyers had 1334 properties to choose from which was a decrease of the number of houses for sale in Saskatoon from June when we had 1412 houses for sale in Saskatoon.
With favorable interest rates and steady job growth in and around Saskatoon our Saskatoon real estate market demand remains steady but it is a much more balanced market than before and Saskatoon real estate market conditions appear to be picking up again in August already.

Last week I listed 2 houses for sale in Saskatoon and have already had an offer on one of the houses for sale in Saskatoon.
The first Saskatoon house for sale is a mobile home in Sutherland. This mobile home is almost 1100 square feet and features 3 good sized bedrooms, large living room, kitchen/dining, separate laundry, full bathroom, and 2 porches. Large deck on the front and a small yard space at the back. List price is $32,900 with lot fees of $614/month (includes taxes, snow removal, water, sewer, garbage pick up, cable). This property for sale in Saskatoon is close to the U of S.
The second house for sale in Saskatoon that I listed last week is a great semi-detached home in Sutherland as well. This home is a 10 minute walk to the U of S and features 3 bedrooms up + a bedroom in the basement with a 3 piece ensuite. This house for sale in Saskatoon is connected by only the shed in between so no common walls between units.
This house for sale in Saskatoon received an offer the first week by another Saskatoon realtor with Century 21 Saskatoon. Century 21 Saskatoon does a unique thing with ‘caravan’ at our weekly meeting and if you are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon this bonus often helps you get your property sold faster. Where else can you be guaranteed that your house for sale in Saskatoon will be seen by 10,15 or more Saskatoon realtors within the first few days of it being listed?
If you are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon contact me for your Saskatoon Real estate needs and for more information and to find out how I can service you and the difference it makes by listing your house with a realtor in Saskatoon who cares and who delivers service.

I am pleased to say that previous Saskatoon home buyers are already using me to list their house for sale in Saskatoon. It is a great compliment to have repeat business and as a Saskatoon realtor I am very happy to say that I have had a lot of that in my 3 short years as a Saskatoon real estate agent.
My most recent house for sale in Saskatoon is located at 106 Blakeney Crescent in Confederation Park. This lovely and well cared for home features a heated verandah, laminate throughout main floor and bedrooms, open kitchen with island and pantry, 1.5 bathrooms, basement that is framed and wired, and plenty of room for a garage. This house for sale in Saskatoon was built in 2005 and is 1156/2 (not included the 4 season heated verandah).
If you are looking to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon this is a great listing and a great price at only $259,900.
Contact your favourite Saskatoon realtor for a personal showing or if you don’t have a realtor in Saskatoon please contact me as I work with many first time home buyers in Saskatoon and can walk you through the entire process of buying a house for sale in Saskatoon (or buying a condo for sale in Saskatoon).

As a real estate agent in Saskatoon it can be both easy and hard to take any time off but it appears I have been taking a break from my Saskatoon real estate related blogs! With having recently moved to our new house in Willowgrove life has been unpredictable and my house has been filled off and on with trades people. I am at the point where it just seems normal to have some random trades person walking through as I am trying to do my day to day Saskatoon real estate business!
I have listed several houses for sale in Saskatoon and a house for sale in Martensville as well as I am listing a house for sale in Warman later today.
I will blog more with details on each property for sale in Saskatoon separately, but as an intro I have:
A 2 bedroom 1 bathroom condo for sale in Saskatoon in Lakewood area on Herold Road. 2 parking spots! $219,900
A 6 bedroom, 3 bathroom side by side duplex for sale in Saskatoon close to the U of S. Over 2100 square feet and fully developed up and down for $489,900.
A 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom bungalow with double attached garage and a huge double detached garage/workshop. This house for sale in Martensville is listed at $384,900.
A 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom revenue house for sale in Varsity View at $225,000. Varsity View is the area closest to the University of Saskatchewan.
I have 2 new listings coming up this week; a house for sale in Warman and a house for sale in Silverwood Heights in Saskatoon.
If you are a buyer looking to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon inventory is good right now. If you are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon contact me.

We have recently moved again within the city of Saskatoon so blogging has been put on the backburner. It has been a busy month for real estate in Saskatoon so packing the house for sale in Stonebridge was left until the last minute…which means unpacking has been interesting! I am a Saskatoon realtor (r) who works with enough Saskatoon first time home buyers and Saskatoon home sellers that I know better, but when it comes to yourself it is easy to give advice and not take it!!
We moved from our house for sale in Stonebridge to our newly built house in Willowgrove. We were fortunate with the weather as it was the sunniest and hottest Friday in the past 3 weeks (freak snow storm the Friday before and rain this past Friday, so our moving day was GREAT!)
With more houses for sale in Stonebridge I have recently reduced the price of 107 Robertson Cove to $389900 from $399900. This is a great house for sale in Saskatoon as it is almost new and the landscaping is done including the driveway and walk way. In the muddy weather of spring I value the finished driveway more than you can imagine after moving into my new mud pit of a yard in Willowgrove. There are many houses for sale in Willowgrove and many new houses being built in our area that makes for muddy streets and sidewalks…not much fun for me or the dog as having a dog and a new house in Saskatoon means a muddy house!
We are also already missing the ameneties in Stonebridge as our runs to Home Depot have been on a huge increase with the work of our new house. We used to be a 5 minute drive from our favourite spots; Home Depot, Wal Mart, Winners Home Sense and for food-Wok Box! Now it takes about 15 minutes from our new house in Willowgrove but we still run over to Stonebridge to get most things as the amenities there are better than anywhere else in the city of Saskatoon it seems.
If you are looking to buy a house in Saskatoon or to sell your house in Saskatoon I would love the opportunity to earn your business. I am a motivated and active Saskatoon Realtor (r) who loves what I do so I hope to be able to help you with all of your Saskatoon real estate needs.

I am very happy to hear that something came in under budget for once in Saskatoon. This one has a great impact on all citizens of Saskatoon, but also on real estate agents in Saskatoon as we drive around the city so much showing houses for sale in Saskatoon and listing houses for sale in Saskatoon and area.
In an article in the Star Phoenix last week it was stated that Graham Construction and Flatiron Construction Corp. would be awarded the most expensive in Saskatoon’s history for a public project. In the end, the cost will be between $30 million and $40 million below the estimate given 4 years ago.
Completion is slated for October 2012 and as a realtor in Saskatoon I cannot tell you how excited I am about that! It will save time when driving around with my Saskatoon home buyers showing them houses for sale in Saskatoon.
The one thing I am not looking forward to, as a real estate agent in Saskatoon, is the contruction zones in certain Saskatoon neighbourhoods and the inevitable slowing down of traffic and detours while the bridge is being built.
The other area that is proposed to get a makeover is the intersection of Circle Drive and Preston Avenue. With the amount of new homes in Stonebridge and the huge increase of population in Stonebridge, this intersection is getting overwhelmed and unsafe.
If you are interested in buying one of the houses for sale in Saskatoon or if you are just starting to get a feel for the Saskatoon real estate market, contact me for all of your Saskatoon real estate needs. If you are thinking about selling a house in Saskatoon I would love the opportunity to show you why it would be best to put your house for sale in Saskatoon with me as your Saskatoon real estate professional.

Agreed!
As a realtor in Saskatoon I spend a lot of my day in my car. I had to get a new one(vehicle) to accomodate the handsfree law, which I am okay with although I think I am equally distracted by having a passenger beside me so whether or not I am holding a phone or a cup of coffee I don’t think it really matters, but it is now the law. Hopefully they will equip police cars in Saskatoon with the same technology as I do still see police, on occasion, on THEIR cell phones!
There was also recently an article in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix on the red light cameras in Saskatoon. While the number of major accidents decrease the number of smaller collisions has increased since it was installed in 2005. The most common accident we see at these intersections (and there are now 3) are rear-enders in which a chain reaction occurs. Hint to driver; when you are already half way through the intersection hammering on your brakes and attempting to reverse is likely still going to earn you a ticket! I think our city would be smarter by putting timing devices on these intersetions counting down until the light turns yellow. If they were more concerned about accidents and less concerned about making money from these logistical nightmares I think we would see them working together. As realtors in Saskatoon we spend so much time driving that we tend to see almost everything when it comes to driving and accidents.
As a Saskatoon Real Estate Agent I am constantly running to get to appointments with my clients who want to sell put their house for sale in Saskatoon or to meet my first time home buyers in Saskatoon to view homes. With technology these days, there is no need to show up late without telling someone, so that also means if I am running behind I can let them know and not have to run lights to get there on time. People are much more forgiving if you just let them know you are on your way and you value their time.
I recently had a new home buyer in Saskatoon that I worked with who was previously working with another real estate agent in Saskatoon. She switched due to the fact that he wouldn’t let her know he was going to be late, leaving her sitting in front of the houses for sale in Saskatoon for up to half an hour at a time waiting for him! She was a home buyer in Saskatoon who was very motivated to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon and this Saskatoon realtor (r) left her hanging…good for me though as I respect other people’s time!
If you are looking to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon or are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon I would love to hear from you!

I have a new listing located at 648 Spadina Crescent West in Saskatoon in the King George area. Don’t let the area deter you, the location is fantastic and it is RIVER FRONT! What a rare opportunity to own a sought after piece of land and a great house to go along with it!
This house for sale in Saskatoon can be seen on my website at http://www.karicalder.com/ and if you are a qualified buyer in Saskatoon (or would like to get more information on buying a house for sale in Saskatoon) you can contact me and I will get the process started for you.
This lovely home has 3 bedrooms, a loft currently used as a bedroom, and a main floor den that could also be used as a bedroom. It is 1791/3 and has many upgrades/updates including a newer kitchen with plenty of space.
Look over the beautiful Saskatchewan River from your 2nd floor balcony and enjoy the greenery of Victoria Park in Saskatoon. You are a short drive to down town Saskatoon and a hop skip and a jump away from the River Landing Project as well as the farmer’s market in Saskatoon and the Persephone Theatre.
Don’t miss this great opportunity! River front house for sale in Saskatoon, priceless! Still a great time to buy in this current market in Saskatoon.
