Welcome back to the Saskatoon Real Estate Week in Review. Each week, we take a clear, data-driven look at local real estate activity to help place short-term market movements into proper context.
Executive Snapshot
122 residential sales, up from 66 one year ago
188 new listings, up from 126 last year
855 active listings, compared to 924
Average sale price: $424,685, compared to $443,099 in 2025
Sales activity rebounded sharply this week while new listing activity also increased, signaling a strong finish to June. Despite the increase in new supply, active inventory remained well below last year's level, reinforcing the continued resilience of buyer demand.
Although weekly activity can fluctuate, the broader trend through the spring and into early summer has been one of healthy absorption, with inventory consistently tracking below 2025 levels.
Key takeaway: The market finished June on a strong note, with sales accelerating while inventory remained below last year's levels despite an increase in new listings.
Sales Activity
Sales activity reached 122 residential transactions, a significant increase from 66 during the same week in 2025. While holiday timing can influence weekly comparisons, this week's results reflect a very active close to the month.
New Listings & Inventory
New listing activity increased to 188 homes, compared to 126 during the same week last year. Even with more properties entering the market, active inventory stood at 855 listings, down from 924 in 2025.
This suggests that demand continues to absorb new supply at a healthy pace, preventing inventory from building beyond last year's levels.
Pricing Trends
The average sale price was $424,685, compared to $443,099 during the same week last year. Weekly average prices are influenced by the mix of homes sold and should be viewed as a short-term indicator rather than a reflection of broader price trends.
What This Means Right Now
For buyers: More homes are coming to market, providing additional choice, though overall inventory remains lower than last year.
For sellers: Strong sales activity combined with lower inventory continues to create favourable conditions for well-priced homes.
What we're watching: Whether the momentum from late June carries into July and whether increased listing activity begins to rebuild inventory.
Closing Summary
With the first half of 2026 now complete, the Saskatoon market continues to demonstrate healthy buyer demand, stable pricing, and inventory levels that remain below last year's pace. We'll continue tracking these trends each week as the summer market unfolds.
