Saskatoon home buyers found little relief from pressured prices this past week(3月12-17). While the percentage of homes which sold at or above their list price declined from 70% to 61%, the average overbid in instances where homes sold over list price increased to $14,155 from $12,144 the week before., s* S7 Q; e.

Area 5, where housing inventories remain tightest, showed an average overbid of $18,767, a big increase from $13,975 the week before. Here are the numbers./ {; L5 a* w p3 I: i# ~5 w; _5 c( f
9 H V: q5 S7 U: lOne doesn’t have to look far to see frustrated home buyers and exhausted agents. I can’t help but think this market is taking its toll. A number of buyers wondered out loud if they should just give up as their continued efforts to get into the Saskatoon housing market continued to deliver no results.

I am also ready for a little relief but there seems to be no end in sight. There are 236 active MLS® listings of condos and houses on the market today, which I believe is a record low. Anyone who is actively looking right now knows that the majority of those have conditional offers on them.% v% _6 C I! F! W y: `
