      <link>https://caitlinfolk.ca/blog.html/new-property-listed-in-lawson-heights-saskatoon-9085048</link>

I have listed a new property at 115 Whiteswan DR in Saskatoon. &lt;a href="https://caitlinfolk.ca/mylistings.html/listing.sk042150-115-whiteswan-drive-saskatoon-s7k-4m5.109272895"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Few streets in Saskatoon command the presence of Whiteswan Drive and this home lives up to it. Uninterrupted river views, direct access to the Meewasin Trail, and a downtown commute of minutes make this a location that has stood the test of time.&#xD;
The foyer opens under soaring ceilings into a sun-filled living and dining space with river views. A custom fluted wood feature wall pairs with a sleek linear gas fireplace (Town &amp; Country), and new smoked engineered hardwood runs through the entire main floor.&#xD;
A private office with glass doors sits off the main floor, suited for working from home.&#xD;
The kitchen is built for cooking and hosting: white custom cabinetry, a large island, quartz counters, and a full butler's pantry. All-new stainless steel appliances include double LG fridges, a gas range, a Frigidaire wall oven, a warming oven, beverage fridges, a wine cooler, and a pot filler at the stove.&#xD;
The breakfast nook features a south-facing window seat, with the adjoining family room opening directly to the backyard.&#xD;
The primary bedroom is generously sized, complete with a walk-in closet and a luxurious 5-piece ensuite featuring Riobel fixtures, heated ceramic floors, a large soaker tub, and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a 5-piece bath. Main-floor storage and extra cabinetry round out this level, rare for a bungalow of this size.&#xD;
The lower level is fully finished with a wet bar, a fourth bedroom, a bright 3-piece bath, a gym space, and generous storage.&#xD;
Mechanically, every major system has been upgraded: Armstrong furnace, IBC tankless water heater, Keeprite 4-ton A/C, smart Ecobee thermostat, and a heated, insulated garage with its own dedicated heat source.&#xD;
The front of the home faces the sunrise, while the backyard offers privacy and function - a privacy wall, stamped concrete patio, wood-burning brick fireplace, water fountain, underground sprinklers, new fencing, and a shed. Book your private viewing today!&#xD;

      <title>Real Estate Market Update - January 2026</title>
      <link>https://caitlinfolk.ca/blog.html/real-estate-market-update---january-2026-8886768</link>
      <description>&lt;h3 style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REGINA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;The Regina real estate market remains strong as we head into the new year, despite the typical seasonal slowdown in December.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sales&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;Regina saw 164 home sales in December, down 17% from last year, which is normal for the holiday season. Even so, sales were 4% above the long-term average. Overall, 2024 was a record year, and 2025 stayed close to that pace, with sales only 2% lower than last year and still 24% above the 10-year average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;Inventory continues to be the biggest challenge. Active listings are nearly 50% below the 10-year average. Of the 475 homes listed at year-end, 126 were already conditionally sold, leaving just 349 active homes heading into 2026. This keeps competition high.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;The benchmark home price in December was $330,900, up from November and nearly 7% higher than last year, showing steady price growth driven by low supply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investor Insights:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;Regina continues to offer a stable and attractive market. Low inventory, nearly 50% below the long-term average, supports steady price appreciation and limits downside risk, with benchmark prices up nearly 7% year over year. Tight supply and strong buyer demand also help sustain rental demand and rental rates, making well-located properties appealing for long-term holds. While fewer discounted opportunities exist, investors who focus on solid cash flow, value-add potential, and quick decision-making are well positioned to succeed in Regina’s market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-type="block-image" data-block="true" data-align="none"&gt;&lt;img src="https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/MBrsgq8Ldnl3IdMfTXaBepOjp5TK96ZM6MZjDUIwijU/rs:auto:1600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL2hla2YvaGVrZnd3dXVjdGpsLnBuZw" class="" data-type="content-image" data-original-src="//static.myrealpage.com/wps/rest/66405/blog/hekf/hekfwwuuctjl.png" srcset="https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/MBrsgq8Ldnl3IdMfTXaBepOjp5TK96ZM6MZjDUIwijU/rs:auto:1600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL2hla2YvaGVrZnd3dXVjdGpsLnBuZw 1600w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/jNGr5fiPjeMChoaZjo7qrL_D1glLmSHN2ljoeWvsP0w/rs:auto:1200:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL2hla2YvaGVrZnd3dXVjdGpsLnBuZw 1200w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/eYASrbyG3kRfy2NZDnvHynf8U6OCQpwvSSUnywvOAsw/rs:auto:800:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL2hla2YvaGVrZnd3dXVjdGpsLnBuZw 800w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/znnjDnjEMpFf36UHB-4K20L0FNC-xsRjJnqWl7YiqK8/rs:auto:600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL2hla2YvaGVrZnd3dXVjdGpsLnBuZw 600w" sizes="100vw"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SASKATOON&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saskatoon’s&lt;/strong&gt; real estate market finished the year strong, continuing to show solid demand and limited supply.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sales Activity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;There were 270 home sales in December, up 6% compared to last year and nearly 24% above the 10-year average. Overall, 2025 was the second-strongest year on record for Saskatoon, with 5,113 total sales, up almost 2% from 2024and 22% above the long-term average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inventory &amp;amp; Competition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;Saskatoon remains the tightest market in Saskatchewan, with just over two months of supply. Inventory levels are about 50% below the 10-year average, which continues to drive competition. Of the 569 homes listed at year-end, 130 were already conditionally sold, leaving 439 active listings heading into January.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;The benchmark home price in December was $417,700, slightly lower than November but over 6% higher than this time last year. This reflects healthy, steady price growth rather than market instability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investor Insights:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="block-p" style="text-align: start"&gt;Saskatoon remains a strong market driven by low inventory and consistent demand. With supply sitting at about two months and listings roughly 50% below the long-term average, prices continue to be well supported, showing over 6% year-over-year growth. The tight market also helps sustain rental demand, as more buyers remain in the rental pool. While competition limits deep-discount opportunities, investors who focus on solid cash flow, long-term appreciation, and well-located properties are well positioned in Saskatoon’s market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-type="block-image" data-block="true" data-align="none"&gt;&lt;img src="https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/2Xs34fKs8Yy7z4Zi2l8nEnThcsnHcxlL73HZw24IL6w/rs:auto:1600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL3BmdWovcGZ1and6YWV1cHdtLnBuZw" class="" data-type="content-image" data-original-src="//static.myrealpage.com/wps/rest/66405/blog/pfuj/pfujwzaeupwm.png" srcset="https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/2Xs34fKs8Yy7z4Zi2l8nEnThcsnHcxlL73HZw24IL6w/rs:auto:1600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL3BmdWovcGZ1and6YWV1cHdtLnBuZw 1600w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/JMbAZ2Hw7k6QQ_0FgUuJTxJeo-jH9tzNbEZulgvn10w/rs:auto:1200:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL3BmdWovcGZ1and6YWV1cHdtLnBuZw 1200w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/e2-IOcqBE-zq9tB6u3-jaskHrT9g_5fi1btIKpwNr2g/rs:auto:800:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL3BmdWovcGZ1and6YWV1cHdtLnBuZw 800w,https://iss-cdn.myrealpage.com/k9ZsVcABGZop1QaeTL_-1-BvEFhc3F2cXXcfGt7kF6M/rs:auto:600:0:0/g:sm/aHR0cDovL3Jlcy5teXJlYWxwYWdlLmNvbS93cHMvcmVzdC82NjQwNS9ibG9nL3BmdWovcGZ1and6YWV1cHdtLnBuZw 600w" sizes="100vw"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="block-p"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To receive the full monthly article, sign up here:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target="" rel="" href="http://mailchi.mp/1b292d134d4e/monthly-newsletter-signup" data-type="link"&gt;mailchi.mp/1b292d134d4e/monthly-newsletter-signup&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I have listed a new property at 306 D2 1121 McKercher DR in Saskatoon. &lt;a href="https://caitlinfolk.ca/mylistings.html/listing.sk024075-306-d2-1121-mckercher-drive-saskatoon-s7h-5b8.107325258"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Ideally located, this 1,087 sq. ft. top-floor corner unit condo with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms is perfect for families, professionals, or students looking for a quiet, low-maintenance lifestyle in a highly convenient location. Situated within walking distance to grocery stores and just minutes from the University, Lakewood Civic Centre, Wildwood Golf Course, The Centre Mall, schools, restaurants, and more, this condo offers both comfort and convenience. Inside, the home features durable laminate tile flooring throughout the main living areas, a modern kitchen with granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and a large walk-in pantry. The open-concept living and dining area leads to an oversized covered balcony ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The spacious primary bedroom includes a private 2-piece ensuite, while the main 4-piece bathroom is easily accessible from the other two bedrooms. An in-suite washer and dryer add to the unit’s convenience, and two electrified parking stalls are included. Additional highlights include condo fees that cover heat and water, a pet-friendly policy (with board approval), and access to a clubhouse with a gym. The building is also scheduled for an exterior upgrade to maintenance-free Hardie Board siding and new balcony railings.
