The average resale house price in Canada was forecast to reach nearly ******* Canadian dollars in 2026, according to a January forecast. In 2024, house prices increased after falling for the first time since 2019. One of the reasons for the price correction was the notable drop in transaction activity.

The average house price in Saskatchewan was about ******* Canadian dollars in 2024, and according to the forecast, is set to increase in the next two years.

In 2023, the population of Saskatchewan was over *** million, which placed it as the sixth most populous Canada province. However, the population has been on the rise since 2006, so this may change in the future. Future of the housing marketThe number of housing starts in the province has been falling since 2012, which suggests that either supply is outstripping demand or that it’s simply not profitable enough for property developers. Some real estate experts in the region believe that the falling price of oil is causing the housing market slowdown because there are fewer jobs in the region as a result. However, they expect that the market will pick up again in the near future.

House prices in Canada Prince Edward Island is one of the most affordable Canadian provinces for buying a house, with prices almost half below the national median in 2024. The national figure is somewhat skewed however by the extremely high cost of housing in British Colombia, and, to a lesser extent, Ontario. A better measure of affordability is the provincial house-price-to-income ratio, which shows Prince Edward Island to be the second most affordable province. Global comparison Canada is one of the most expensive countries in the OECD in terms of house-price-to-income ratio. In 2023, Canada scored higher than the United States, the UK, and Korea. That means that the cost of housing has increased at a much higher rate than the average income in the country.
