SOLD! Busy month!

April 1st, 2011

I should take holidays more often! The day before leaving for Belize with my fiance I got an offer on one of my houses for sale in Dalmeny that I had since before Christmas. This Dalmeny house for sale was a good deal. Nice square footage, backing the school playgrounds, quiet street.

I also had sales finalized on my 2 Saskatoon townhouses for sale and one of them received its new owners while I was away. The Saskatoon real estate market has been busy which is quite normal for this time of year. Spring has sprung, the weather is warming and people are out buying houses for sale in Saskatoon as well as listing their homes for sale in Saskatoon.

I have had some wonderful clients lately and have helped several first time home buyers in Saskatoon purchase as well as helping several of my Saskatoon real estate clients sell and buy up.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in Saskatoon I would be happy to help.

Two New Townhouses for Sale in Saskatoon

March 3rd, 2011

I have listed 2 townhouses for sale in Saskatoon within the past couple of weeks. Townhouses for sale in Saskatoon have been a busy market lately with all of the Saskatoon first time home buyers getting started in the market. The mortgage changes in Canada are also prompting some of this activity.

The Saskatoon real estate market has been steady. My first new listing is a great townhouse for sale in Hampton Village. This is a Fraser Homes built townhouse is great value for money. It is almost 1400 square feet and has 3 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms with the option to put another in the basement, single attached garage. Kohler plumbing fixtures. Maple kitchen, large island, plenty of storage space with pantry, broom closet, etc. Open kitchen/dining/living room with upgraded lighting. Basement is open for development. Small pets are allowed. Quick and easy access in and out of Hampton Village.

The second townhouse for sale in Saskatoon that I recently listed already has an offer on it. This one is on Lynd Crescent in Stonebridge and has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, finished basement, maple kitchen, granite counters, and is an end unit with extra windows and a skylight. There is also a single attached garage and it is small pet friendly. This condo for sale in Saskatoon was snapped up by a lucky first time home buyer in Saskatoon.

February Saskatoon Real Estate Update

March 3rd, 2011

The Saskatoon real estate market has been a busy one in February. MLS sales are up 22% from 2010 while listings are only up 9% from 2010. The most active price range of houses for sale in Saskatoon last month was $250,000-$275,000 which indicates the entry level homes are the hottest commodity right now. With the changes in mortgage rules that does not surprise many of us.

The average price for Saskatoon homes for sale is almost the same as 2010 and the overall average house price in Saskatoon is up 4% from last year at this time.

Optimism in Saskatoon’s economy remains high and this is seen by the amount of people expressing interest in moving here from other provinces, renters wanting to purchase a house or a condo for sale in Saskatoon and existing Saskatoon home owners moving up. Job creation in Saskatoon remains steady so the forecast for the rest of 2011 is for a balanced market and resale prices to increase slightly due to demand.

If you are waiting to buy a home for sale in Saskatoon and hopeing for ‘prices to go down’ this doesn’t appear to be happening any time soon. A steady increase seems most likely so instead of paying 100% interest by renting in Saskatoon you may want to talk to your local Saskatoon mortgage broker or Saskatoon Realtor (R) to discuss how to get started in the Saskatoon real estate market. If you are a first time buyer in Saskatoon and don’t know where to start I can help you with the entire process.

Mortgage rules to change in March

February 9th, 2011

This is a long overdue post mostly because I have been so busy showing Saskatoon homes for sale due to the change that I have not had time to write about it! I have also been busy showing houses for sale around Saskatoon as there are lots of great new homes for sale in Warman and Martensville.

As of March 18th, 2011 buyers will no longer be able to take advantage of a 35 year amortization period for their mortgage. This has meant an increase in Saskatoon first time home buyers and busy times for Saskatoon real estate agents.

While some people are opting to wait, there are others who will wait themselves out of being able to get into the Saskatoon real estate market. The Saskatoon real estate market is not so busy right now that we are seeing many competing offers, but it has certainly occurred when a great property comes up.

If you haven’t already done so, get down to see a Saskatoon mortgage broker so that you can take advantage of this. The mortgage rates are still low so it is a win-win for first time buyers in Saskatoon. There is still a lot of great product out there as well as plenty of new homes for sale in Saskatoon that a first time buyer can build sweat equity with.

If you don’t already have a Saskatoon real estate agent or you are not happy with the level of service from your Saskatoon realtor(r) give me a call and I would be happy to help you, whether you are buying a house for sale in Saskatoon or looking to put your Saskatoon house for sale I am here to be of service.

Saskatoon Growing Faster Than Any Other Canadian Region

February 4th, 2011

As I am a Saskatoon real estate agent I see the amount of people coming in to look at homes for sale in Saskatoon but with my web presence I also get a lot of inquiries about rentals in Saskatoon (which I do not deal in as I am not licensed as a property manager).

Reading this article today in the Star Phoenix was no surprise to me. We passed Alberta for the first time in decades last year according to Stats Canada and Saskatoon is also now the youngest metropolitan area in Canada which bucks the Canadian trend of an aging population. I could add that it may have something to do with our older population heading out to warmer areas! Two of the other reasons cited are young families immigating here from other countries as well as our high aboriginal birth rate. Saskatoon’s average age is now 35.6 while the average age across Canada is 40. The oldest city is not where you would expect (British Columbia?) but actually Saguenay, Quebec with an average age of 45.

The Saskatoon region (which includes Warman, Martensville, Dundurn, and Dalmeny) has now reached over 265,000 people which is up 30,000 people since 2005. Vancouver was second for growth and Regina was third with their population now over 215,000.

One of the main reasons for Saskatoon’s growth is a large spike in international immigration with 3300 added just last year.

If you are looking to buy a house for sale in Saskatoon give me a call. I work with a lot of first time home buyers in Saskatoon so if you need the right direction I am here to help you.

Egypt and Jordan-home safe and sound

January 26th, 2011

What a wonderful experience it is to travel abroad, especially during the cold Saskatchewan winters. We arrived home last week from 3 weeks in Jordan and Egypt and what an experience that was!

The weather was warm-ish, the experience was very different, and the history was incredible! There are always things I love and things I hate about traveling to new countries. Love the weather, history, sites, food, etc. Hate the overall filthy state of the 2 countries, lack of care about garbage and no recycling to be seen, and the driving is a love/hate relationship. Shopping, in Canada ‘no thank you’ meann ‘no’ and usually you are done; in Egypt ‘NO!!’ apparently means ‘keep coming at me with a lower price and corner me into your shop and force me to shove you out of my way to get some peace!’

There is nothing like experiencing Petra, Jordan first hand or cruising through the Wadi Rum Desert with its beautiful red sands. Egypt was mind blowing, starting with the pyramids and riding camels and then all of the temples, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Alexandria, Aswan, etc. Finally ending up in Sharm El Sheikh was a personal favourite as the travels do get exhausting and your head definitely gets filled with knowledge. The resort was the best I have been to, beach was amazing, the water crystal clear, fish everywhere! Peace and tranquility and heat before returning to Saskatoon.

I am thankful for my Saskatoon real estate clients who waited to list their houses for sale in Saskatoon until I returned. I listed four houses for sale in Saskatoon upon my return in a matter of two days; 3 in Warman and 1 in Forest Grove.

I am also thankful for my Saskatoon first time home buyers who also waited for my return. One offer written and accepted and hopefully two more in the next week or so. It is always wonderful to get away but also nice to come back and be busy.

If you are looking to buy a house or condo for sale in Saskatoon give me a shout or if you are looking to sell your house in Saskatoon I look forward to helping you out.
