Saskatchewan Real Estate Market
Kevin Hursh, a Saskatchewan agricultural consultant (www.hursh.ca) notes: "The past couple years what many thought impossible has happened. In a lot of small and large towns, you can hardly find a house to buy and if you do, the price has increased dramatically. Older houses that no one wanted a few years ago are being snapped up and renovated. Even houses in old farmyards are in demand. The resource industries are booming and the grain industry has tremendous optimism. People are moving back to Saskatchewan and it isn't only the cities which are benefiting. Rural Saskatchewan still has issues and problems, but there has been an amazing reversal of fortunes. Local governments are scrambling to switch from survival mode to a growth mode."
