Saskatoon Nutana Collegiate Receives Money For Reno’s

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Nutana Collegiate is a Saskatoon high school that has been long overdue to get some renovations.  The school is reaching its 100 year anniversary and has been given $8.5 million dollars in government funding to be applied to a wide variety of renovations that the school desperately needs.  These renovations will include everything ranging from mechanical & electrical services to the installation of an elevator for accessibility for disabled individuals.

Nutana Collegiate is the oldest high school in Saskatoon and was the first secondary school established.  It also served as the first home for the University of Saskatchewan in 1910 until 1912 until the long term campus was developed.  Nutana has a long history in the city of Saskatoon.

For those of you that are either looking to buy or sell real estate in the Nutana neighbourhood, this is excellent news.  With the Saskatoon real estate market becoming a stabilized market again it is important to take note when big changes like these take place in your neighbourhood.  Nutana is a sought after area due to its close proximity to the Broadway, which offers a host of small speciality shops.  People also really enjoy Nutana because you are right close to the river and also the downtown core of the city.

If you are interested in either buying or selling real estate in the Nutana area or anywhere else in Saskatoon or the surrounding areas, be sure to contact me and I would be more than happy to assist you.

Saskatoon Real Estate Market National News

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

About a month ago I was contacted by CBC National to speak about the real estate market in Saskatoon and to set them up with one of my many clients from Alberta that was migrating to Saskatchewan. I was thrilled at the opportunity and put them in touch with one of my candid and fun clients; I had many to choose from though, it was hard! But I put them in contact with one of my clients who, when I asked ‘Why are you moving to Saskatoon” he quoted “We are following the money!” so I figured he and his wife would be the best ones to talk to.

Just last week I met up with one of the producers who came out to Saskatoon to do a story on real estate in Saskatchewan and how the Saskatoon real estate boom has affected everyone; good and bad. I spent a few hours with him over 2 days and we had a blast. He wanted to learn about housing prices in Saskatoon and how they changed over the past 16 months so we did a few drive bys in different locations to go over the prices from late 2006 and early 2007 until now. I am hoping they don’t put too negative of a spin on how real estate has impacted Saskatoon and Saskatchewan as I would say that most of us notice when the media grabs on to our market boom and that almost scares people away. Some people think we have maxed out, but with the mining sectors doubling in size in the next few years, people have to move here from somewhere! Sure right now we are experiencing more listings than we have seen in the Saskatoon real estate market for over a year, but we are finally in a more balanced market again. People are dropping some of their prices to be more appropriate, but that doesn’t mean house prices are falling in Saskatoon. So for people who are thinking of investing in the future of Saskatoon and looking for properties to rent to the loads of people who have no where to live, this is a great time to buy a home in Saskatoon. Buyers and investors don’t have to buy without seeing, they have the luxury now of choosing from a few properties for sale in Saskatoon. So, for those who are scared to buy as they are fearing a recession from the US, I say you must be more aware of what is happening in Saskatchewan’s economy as it is strong and unlike the US in any way!

So, I will post another blog when I know the story will be aired!

Saskatoon Neighbourhood Pleasant Hill Receives Funding For New School

Friday, May 16th, 2008

For those of you who currently live in the Pleasant Hill neighbourhood in Saskatoon or are possibly looking to buy real estate in this area, you will be happy to learn that funding for a new school has been provided.  The Saskatchewan provincial government has committed to provide $8.3 million to be used for the construction of a new St. Mary Community School.  This new school will also include a day care and a wellness centre.  The city of Saskatoon has also committed to providing $500,000 in addition to the Saskatchewan government contribution.

The existing St. Mary school in Pleasant Hill is part of the Saskatoon Catholic School board and for years has been over crowded and not adequate for the students needs.  On several occasions the Catholic school board in Saskatoon have attempted to get work done on the school without success.  This announcement of new funding will provide for a new school to be built and better serve the students and residents of Pleasant Hill.

With the addition of this new school, real estate prices in Pleasant Hill will probably increase as well.  Pleasant Hill has traditionally been known as a rougher area of the city but with changes like this on the horizon, things will change in a hurry.  If you are interested in either buying or sell real estate in the Pleasant Hill area or anywhere in Saskatoon be sure to contact me and I’ll be happy to work with you!
