Saskatoon has been experiencing a lack of inventory since the pandemic. While these market conditions vary from residential, acreage, farm, land, and commercial properties, they vary even further within residential. Successful navigation of such market conditions also requires different considerations between condos, townhouses, and houses, reflecting even further variations within those different price ranges. Additional factors that impact these expected conditions include the selling and buying strategy utilized by each respective party. Therefore, the following are general indicators for the public in most cases. 

Home Sellers 

• You may not have to get into extensive negotiations. 
• You may have to make little to no concessions. 
• It may sell within the first day or so of listing. 
• You may get multiple offers.
