The Saskatoon housing market in Q4 2024 experienced a seller’s market due to a shortage of housing supply. This is expected to remain consistent for the rest of the year. New Canadians are primarily driving sales in the region due to strong demand for homeownership among recent arrivals. Many are motivated by long-term stability and investment potential, which has helped sustain market activity despite broader uncertainty.
