Bungalows are selling at an average price of $342,103, down 3.6 per cent, while the average price of a two-storey home is $407,915, down 1.5 per cent. Prices for condominiums were not released.
The number of homes sold is also down.
“Sales are modestly down approximately five per cent year-to-date compared to last year,” Matt Miller, a broker and the owner of Royal LePage Saskatoon Real Estate, said in a statement.
“Despite an increase in inventory, prices are proving fairly resilient as consumer confidence in the region improves.”
