Saskatoon Real Estate Week in Review - May 7 – 13, 2026

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

  • 125 residential sales, up from 119 one year ago

  • 213 new listings, compared to 216 last year

  • 753 active listings, compared to 769

  • Average sale price: $498,013, compared to $418,812 in 2025

Sales activity remained strong this week while new listing activity was nearly unchanged from last year, indicating continued buyer demand as the spring market remains active. Inventory levels also remained below the same period last year, reinforcing continued tight market conditions.

Despite recent fluctuations in weekly inventory levels, broader market indicators continue to point to tight conditions overall, with supply remaining below long-term averages.

Key takeaway: Buyer demand continues to absorb a significant portion of new supply, keeping inventory levels lower than last year despite a steady flow of new listings.

Sales Activity
Sales activity came in at 125 residential transactions, compared to 119 during the same period last year. This marks another strong week of buyer activity and suggests that demand remains healthy as we move through the busiest part of the spring market.

New Listings & Inventory
New listing activity was nearly unchanged, with 213 homes coming to market compared to 216 during the same week in 2025. Active inventory stood at 753 listings, down from 769 last year.

With new listings holding steady and inventory remaining lower year over year, the market continues to demonstrate strong absorption.

Pricing Trends
The average sale price reached $498,013, compared to $418,812 during the same week last year. Weekly price figures can fluctuate depending on the types of homes sold, and this increase is likely influenced by the mix of properties transacting during the week.

What This Means Right Now

  • For buyers: More listings are available than earlier in the year, but strong sales activity means competition remains active in many segments.

  • For sellers: Buyer demand remains robust, particularly for homes that are well-priced and well-presented.

  • What we’re watching: Whether inventory begins to tighten further if sales continue to outpace the pace at which supply is being added.

Closing Summary
As we move further into May, we’ll continue tracking how sales activity, new listings, inventory levels, and pricing trends evolve across the Saskatoon real estate market. The Saskatoon Real Estate Week in Review is designed to provide a consistent, data-driven snapshot of local conditions each week — without unnecessary noise or speculation.
