Saskatchewan reported 1,179 sales in November, marking the second-highest monthly sales volume ever for the month. This represents an 18 percent increase compared to November 2023 and 27 percent above the 10-year historical average. Sales growth was widespread, with nearly all regions of the province contributing to a nine percent year-to-date sales increase.
November marked the seventeenth consecutive month of above-average sales, which coincided with a drop in new listings. This imbalance further reduced inventory levels, which declined by 23 percent year-over-year and currently sit nearly 45 percent below the long-term, 10-year averages—the lowest for November since 2007.
“As 2024 draws to a close, it’s shaping up to be one of the strongest years on record for our province,” said Association CEO Chris Guérette. “Given the ongoing inventory challenges in many Saskatchewan markets, the fact that we’re reporting above-average sales for 17 consecutive months is unprecedented.”
With inventory tightening and demand remaining strong, Saskatchewan reported 3.6 months of supply in November. While this is a slight increase from October, it remains well below typical seasonal levels. These tight market conditions continue to drive price growth, with many communities across the province reporting year-over-year benchmark price increases.
The province’s residential benchmark price stood at $338,400 in November, slightly down from $343,400 in October. However, this seasonal decline aligns with historical patterns, and the November price remains over five percent higher than the same time last year.
“Saskatchewan’s housing market continues to exceed expectations and defy many seasonal trends,” noted Association CEO Chris Guérette. “After a record-breaking October, November delivered the second-highest sales on record for the month, underscoring the sustained strength of housing demand across the province.”
The City of Saskatoon reported 380 home sales in November, a 21 percent increase compared to the same month last year and 32 percent above the 10-year average.
Saskatoon’s strong sales momentum continues to limit inventory relief. With just 693 units currently available on market, the city faces less than two months of supply, emphasizing the sustained demand in Saskatchewan’s largest urban center.

However, the benchmark price remains over six percent higher than in November 2023, highlighting the ongoing price growth fueled by tight market conditions.
