Saskatoon Nutana Collegiate Receives Money For Reno’s

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 Recieves 2 More Red-Light Cameras

June 9th, 2008

For those of you who currently live in Saskatoon, you are well aware of the red light cameraon Circle Drive in the north end of the city.  This camera has generated more than just a few tickets but has also helped reduce accidents and bad driving through this area which previously was notorious for accidents.  In the first year alone the camera handed out more than $460,000 worth of tickets and cut people running the red light by 92 per cent. 

The city of Saskatoon has approved the installation of 2 more red-light cameras in the city.  The first camera will be installed on 8th street and Preston Avenue.  This intersection is a major one in the city of Saskatoon as it is the major go through road between College and 8th.  The second camera will be installed on 51st Street and Warman Road.  Both of these intersections have a history of people running red lights and as a result a lot of accidents happening.

With the city of Saskatoon growing, we will continue to see more additions of this.  As any city grow more strain is put on traffic and it seems that people drive a little bit more aggressive.  These cameras are planned to be installed by the end of the summer so be sure to take note and drive safe!

WestJet Announces Direct Las Vegas Flights From Saskatoon

June 2nd, 2008

WestJet announced late last week that starting in September of this year they will start to offer direct flightsto Las Vegas from Saskatoon.  Previously the only way to get to Vegas via WestJet was to fly to either Calgary or Edmonton and then catch a connector flight.  This is just one more sign that Saskatoon is making its mark and attracting large companies to bring more services to our city.

Initially WestJet says that the flights will be seasonal and only operating in the fall, winter and early spring.  This tend to be the busiest times for people to head done to Vegasand escape the Canadian winter.  If the service is popular than we could see it potentially running year round.  Recently WestJet also added a direct flight from Saskatoon to Toronto.

Saskatoon is in huge a huge growth phase, which can be shown by the Saskatoon real estate market.  As our city continues to grow more services such as direct flights that once weren’t an option will become readily available.  I know I for one am excited about the addition of flights to our city.

Saskatoon Real Estate Market National News

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!
