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
103 residential sales, up from 93 one year ago
151 new listings, up from 137 last year
848 active listings, compared to 871
Average sale price: $419,777, compared to $454,415 in 2025
Buyer activity strengthened this week, with sales exceeding the same period last year despite an increase in new listings. At the same time, active inventory remained slightly below 2025 levels, suggesting that new supply continues to be absorbed at a healthy pace.
After several weeks of the market finding its summer balance, this week's numbers point to renewed buyer activity while overall conditions remain stable.
Key takeaway: Sales increased year over year while inventory remained slightly lower than last year, indicating buyers continue to absorb new listings without allowing supply to build significantly.
Sales Activity
Sales activity totaled 103 residential transactions, compared to 93 during the same week in 2025. This represents a solid year-over-year increase and reflects continued buyer confidence as the summer market progresses.
New Listings & Inventory
New listing activity increased to 151 homes, compared to 137 during the same week last year. Active inventory finished the week at 848 listings, down slightly from 871 in 2025.
Although more homes came to market this week, inventory remained below last year's level, suggesting buyer demand continues to keep pace with the additional supply.
Pricing Trends
The average sale price was $419,777, compared to $454,415 during the same week last year. Weekly average prices naturally fluctuate depending on the mix of homes sold and should be viewed as a short-term indicator rather than a broader pricing trend.
What This Means Right Now
For buyers: Fresh inventory continues to come to market, providing opportunities while overall selection remains healthy.
For sellers: Buyer activity remains strong, and well-priced homes continue to attract attention despite increased listing activity.
What we're watching: Whether stronger sales continue through August and how they impact inventory levels heading toward the fall market.
Closing Summary
As we move further into August, Saskatoon's housing market continues to demonstrate resilience. Buyer demand remains healthy, new listings are entering the market at a steady pace, and inventory levels remain relatively stable. We'll continue following these weekly trends as the market transitions toward the fall season.
