Saskatchewan’s housing market is off to a strong start in 2025, with 782 sales across the province in January—up one percent year-over-year and over 17 percent above 10-year averages. Strong January sales led to the nineteenth consecutive month of above-average sales in the province, a streak of robust sales that dates back to June 2023.
New listings declined by two percent year-over-year and were down nearly 28 percent compared to long-term averages. Declining new listings continue to be met with strong demand, which failed to provide any supply relief to begin the new year.
Inventory levels were down 19 percent year-over-year and currently sit over 44 percent below the 10-year average, with over 600 fewer units available than this time last year. Notably, of the 3,925 available units reported at month’s end, over 700 had already accepted a conditional offer and are set to leave the market once those transactions close.
“While market activity in the coming months will provide a clearer picture of trends for 2025, monthly sales figures continue to outperform expectations,” said Association CEO, Chris Guérette. “We’re picking up right where we left off after a near-record 2024.”
Tighter market conditions continue to place upward pressure on home prices across the province, as Saskatchewan reported a residential benchmark of $342,600 in January – up from $337,800 in December and nearly seven percent higher than January 2024.
“Until recently, Saskatchewan was braced for another strong year in 2025. That outlook has become less certain given the threat of tariffs, coupled with potential Canadian retaliation and uncertainty with the Bank of Canada,” said Guérette. “We’ll be keeping a close eye on these external factors and their potential implications on Saskatchewan’s housing market in 2025.”
Significant demand and persistent inventory challenges continue to drive price gains throughout the province—with all areas of the province reporting year-over-year price gains in January.
The City of Saskatoon reported 253 home sales in January, a year-over-year increase of over 3 percent and the second-strongest January on record.
Despite a surge in new listings, Saskatoon’s months of supply remains under 2.5 months, with inventory levels down 15 percent year-over-year and over 50 percent below long-term trends. Notably, less than 450 of the 618 available units at month’s end were not already conditionally sold.
Saskatoon reported a benchmark price of $403,400 in January, up from $395,300 in December and over seven percent higher than January 2024.
