This number was up 20 % from February 2010 when 235 homes were sold. The $250,000.00 to $275,000.00 price range was the most active indicating greater activity in the entry level and mid price range of homes. The average number of days to sell in the month of February was 41 days. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average residential selling price in February was $287,202.00 this number down 1 % from February 2010 when the average selling price was $290,941.00. The year to date average selling price stands at $292,463.00 up 4% from last year at this time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average residential price is derived by taking the month&amp;rsquo;s dollar volume of homes sold and dividing that number by the unit sales number. The percentage of change should not be used unilaterally as prices vary from area to area. Consumers wishing an accurate estimate of value for their home should contact a REALTOR&amp;reg; member to do a comparative market analysis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Home buyers had 1046 homes to select from at the end of February that number up from February 2010 when 866 homes were on the market. REALTORS&amp;reg; listed 545 homes in February that number up 17% from February 2010 when 465 properties were listed for sale. Year to date 1076 properties have been listed for sale up 25% from 2010 as a result home buyers are enjoying a slightly improved inventory level. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In areas surrounding Saskatoon sales activity continued to improve with 63 homes selling that number up 66% from February 2010 when 38 homes were sold. REALTORS&amp;reg; listed 177 properties in these areas in the month of February. That number is up 2% from February 2010 when 173 properties were placed on the market for sale. The average number of days to sell in areas around Saskatoon during the month of February was 58 days. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Optimism in the Saskatoon economy remains high. Evidence of this is seen on numerous fronts. Renters want to purchase, many current home owners are looking to move up and REALTORS&amp;reg; report significant interest from clients wanting to move here from out of province. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An important factor of a strong housing market is the activity experienced in new home sales. Saskatoon&amp;rsquo;s new home market remains strong with steady city lot sales taking place. Interest rates are favorable to purchase that next home and job creation in the Saskatoon area remains steady. The forecast for the remainder of 2011 is for listing and sales numbers to continue to balance and for resale prices to move up slightly due to demand. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS&amp;reg; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=880494" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>394876</name><uri>http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/members/394876.aspx</uri></author><category term="Market Conditions" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Market+Conditions/default.aspx" /><category term="For Sale" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/For+Sale/default.aspx" /><category term="Announcements" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Announcements/default.aspx" /><category term="Buyer Information" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Buyer+Information/default.aspx" /><category term="Community Information" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Community+Information/default.aspx" /><category term="Saskatoon" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Saskatoon/default.aspx" /><category term="cheap houses saskatoon" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/cheap+houses+saskatoon/default.aspx" /><category term="house for sale" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/house+for+sale/default.aspx" /><category term="Saskatoon homes for sale" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/Saskatoon+homes+for+sale/default.aspx" /><category term="saskatoon condos" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/saskatoon+condos/default.aspx" /><category term="saskatoonkatoon real estae" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/saskatoonkatoon+real+estae/default.aspx" /><category term="condos for sale" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/condos+for+sale/default.aspx" /><category term="saskatoonkatoon real estate" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/saskatoonkatoon+real+estate/default.aspx" /><category term="homes for sale saskatoon" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/homes+for+sale+saskatoon/default.aspx" /><category term="saskatoon real estate" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/saskatoon+real+estate/default.aspx" /><category term="saskatoon real estate market update homes for sale" scheme="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/tags/saskatoon+real+estate+market+update+homes+for+sale/default.aspx" /></entry><entry><title>Saskatoon Real Estate Update January 2011</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/2011/02/02/saskatoon-real-estate-update-january-2011.aspx" /><id>http://www.saskatoon4sale.com/blogs/john_pearce/archive/2011/02/02/saskatoon-real-estate-update-january-2011.aspx</id><published>2011-02-02T16:48:00Z</published><updated>2011-02-02T16:48:00Z</updated><content type="html">2011 Residential Sales Market Begins on a Positive Note The 2011 residential resale market started on a positive note with Saskatoon REALTORS&amp;reg; assisting 195 home buyers with the purchase of their dream home.

The unit sales number for the month of June declined by 17% with 364 properties being sold as compared to 441 properties selling in June 2009. However the average selling price in June was $295,963.00 up 7% from June 2009 when the average was $276,194.00. This increase indicates strong activity in the mid to upper price range of homes. The $300,000 to 350,000.00 price range continues to experience the greatest sales activity &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;The average residential selling price is derived by taking the month&amp;rsquo;s dollar volume of homes sold and dividing that number by the unit sales number. The percentage of change should not be used unilaterally as prices vary from area to area. Consumers wishing an accurate estimate of value for their home should contact a REALTOR&amp;reg; member to do a comparative market analysis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;REALTORS&amp;reg; listed 676 homes in the month of June a similar number to June 2009 when 669 homes were placed on the market. Year to date listing numbers are on par with 3,838 properties being listed for sale. Consumers had 1,412 homes to select from at the end of June. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Sales activity in the smaller communities around Saskatoon e.g. Martensville, Warman, Dundurn remained very balanced with 101 units selling. That number was up 3% from June 2009. The average selling price was up 1% at $254,203.00, the year to date average selling price in these areas is up 4% at $252,788.00. Listing numbers were down 4% with 246 properties being placed on the market for sale as compared to 257 in June 2009. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Similar market activity is expected in the third quarter. New home sales are brisk, interest rates remain attractive, job creation continues to increase and regular in migration is taking place. In addition consumer confidence in the local economy also remains strong. All of these are necessary components of a healthy real estate market environment. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS&amp;reg; Inc &lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;1149-8&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="1"&gt;th &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Street East, Saskatoon, Sk S7H 0S3 TEL: (306) 244-4453 FAX: (306) 343-1420 www.srar.ca info@srar.ca Mission: &amp;quot;To Support our Members Professional Success, Career Development and Quality of Life&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;Trademarks are owned or controlled by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) and identify real estate professionals who are members of CREA (REALTORS&amp;reg;) and/or the quality of services they provide (MLS&amp;reg;).

Year to date numbers remain strong with 1147 units being purchased as compared to 1056 in 2009. REALTORS&amp;reg; sold $111,307,000.00 of real estate in April up 15% from April 2009. Year to date $330,016,00.00 of real estate has exchanged hands up 14% from 2009. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average residential selling price was $299,214.00 that number up 9%from April 2009 when the average $275,586.00.

The number of listings taken by Saskatoon REALTORS&amp;reg; in the month of April was up by 13% with 784 properties being placed on the market as compared to 693 in April 2009. Year to date 2383 homes have been listed for sale. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Real estate activity was up in areas surrounding Saskatoon e.g. Martensville, Warman, Clavet and Dundurn. Unit sales were up 39% with 115 properties being purchased. The average selling price was $233,792 down 10% from April 2009 when the average was $260,956. This decline in the average selling price indicates more properties selling in the lower to mid price range. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All indicators point to a stable market conclusion for the second quarter. The market is fairly balanced with sufficient inventory being available for home buyers. Consumer confidence and optimism in the local and provincial economy is high.

Unit sales were up 28% from March 2009 with 361 homes being sold as compared to March 2009 when 282 units were sold. Year to date 775 properties have exchanged hands that number up 10% from 2009 when 704 properties exchanged hands. The average days on market has dropped to 30 days with some areas having as low as 22 days to sell on average. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average residential selling price in March was $282,615.00 up 6% from March 2009 when the average selling price was $266,620.00. The average selling price year to date is $282,270.00 up 3% from 2009 when the average price was $274,555.00. The highest number of sales year to date has taken place in the $300 to 350,000.00 price range. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average residential price is derived by taking the month&amp;rsquo;s dollar volume of homes sold and dividing that number by the unit sales number. The percentage of change should not be used unilaterally as prices vary from area to area. Consumers wishing an accurate estimate of value for their home should contact a REALTOR&amp;reg; member to do a comparative market analysis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Listing inventory remained steady with home buyers having 1045 properties to select from at the end of March. REALTORS&amp;reg; listed 738 homes in March up 11% from 2009 when 662 were placed on the market for sale. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In areas surrounding Saskatoon e.g. Martensville, Warman etc unit sales were up 49% with 97 properties selling as compared to March 2009 when 65 properties were sold. Year to date 168 properties have sold in these areas that number up 22% from 2009 when 138 properties had sold. The average selling price in these areas was $260,054.00 up 16% from March 2009 when the average was $224,328.00. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Saskatoon and area market is steady and is expected to remain steady throughout spring and summer. Slightly higher interest rates may affect some first time buyers who typically are close to the line when qualifying for financing to purchase a home. Conditions in Saskatoon are very favourable for strong real estate sales and development. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;City lot sales for 2010 have already exceeded the City Land Branch goals and expectations. Saskatoon leads the nation in population growth and job creation. Many businesses regularly express interest in relocating to this city and in-migration in general is becoming more common place. Even at the Olympics people stood in line for 2 hours to get into the Saskatchewan pavilion. All indicators point to 2010 remaining a solid market environment in Saskatoon. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Harry H.
