Ontario's September market had more active listings than its historical norm, despite fewer new listings than a year earlier.

The latest complete monthly report shows:
• 13,340 residential sales, down 8.3% year over year.
• MLS® HPI composite benchmark price of $736,300, down 3.9%.
• Average resale price of $791,691, down 4.3%.
• 72,643 active listings, down 4.2% year over year but 39.8% above the ten-year average for September.
• 5.4 months of inventory, compared with 5.2 a year earlier and a long-run average of 3.4.

That is why fewer listings than last year can coexist with relatively ample choice: the historical comparison matters too.

For an Ontario–Saskatchewan move, compare the actual communities, property types and timing on each side. Ontario's provincial figures are not a forecast for Saskatoon, and an average sale price is not the same measure as a benchmark price.

Two condos have similar asking prices. One has a much lower monthly fee. Is it really cheaper to own?

The fee alone cannot tell you whether major common-property work is adequately funded. Low fees do not automatically mean trouble, and a reserve fund does not guarantee there will never be an extra assessment.

Before committing, request the current budget, financial statements, reserve-fund information and any available study. Review recent board minutes for upcoming work, and obtain a current estoppel certificate through your REALTOR® and retained lawyer.

CMHC's Saskatchewan guide explains that the certificate covers matters such as contributions, payment status, insurance and funding plans. Read it alongside the other documents, not as a replacement for them.

Ask whether additional assessments have been approved or proposed. Have your lawyer address payment responsibility in the purchase contract rather than assuming the seller or buyer always pays.

Compare what the fee includes, what the building has saved and what work is ahead. Contact Linda Yu at Aspaire Realty Inc. to discuss your Saskatoon purchase plans.

The mortgage fits your budget. Would a repair bill next month fit too?

A useful maintenance plan starts with the house itself, rather than one percentage applied to every property.

Separate three things: regular upkeep, major replacements and an emergency reserve. A routine service visit and a worn-out appliance should not have to compete for the same last dollar.

Start with the roof, water-heating equipment and major appliances. Check their condition, age and service records. Ask qualified contractors for estimates and discuss which work is urgent and which can reasonably be planned.

Here is the arithmetic, not a local quote: a hypothetical $6,000 replacement planned for three years from now means setting aside $2,000 a year, or about $167 a month, before inflation, interest and contingencies. It does not mean the equipment will last three more years.

Before buying, put that plan beside the mortgage, property tax, insurance and utilities. A comfortable purchase leaves room to look after the home after you get the keys.

No gas appliance inside your condo? That does not remove the need for a CO alarm.

Saskatchewan's Henry's Law took effect November 1, 2026. It requires carbon monoxide alarms in every residential suite in multi-unit buildings, regardless of proximity to fuel-burning appliances. Apartments, condominiums and houses with secondary suites are included, regardless of building age.

For owners and landlords, check the actual device in each suite:
• Does it detect CO, rather than smoke alone?
• Is it within its replacement date and working when tested as instructed?
• Does its installation meet manufacturer instructions and local requirements?

Do not assume an alarm in a common hallway protects every suite. Confirm what is required inside your unit with the building manager or local authority.

If a CO alarm sounds, leave immediately and call 911 from a safe place. This is a safety check to make now, not something to leave until your next sale.

Alberta in September: fewer sales, a higher average price, and more nuance than a single market label.

AREA's September 2026 provincial report shows:
• 5,699 residential sales, down 5.6% year over year.
• Average residential sale price of $528,556, up 4.8%.
• 21,805 properties in inventory, up 0.2%.
• 3.83 months of supply, up 6% year over year.

Supply conditions vary: Calgary recorded 3.93 months and Edmonton 4.20, compared with 2.22 in Grande Prairie. One provincial average cannot describe every neighbourhood or property type.

Our takeaway: a higher average sale price alongside fewer transactions does not mean every home's value increased. Average prices reflect the mix of homes sold and are not benchmark prices.

Planning a move between Alberta and Saskatchewan? Compare the actual communities on both sides, not just provincial headlines. Contact Linda Yu at Aspaire Realty Inc. for the Saskatchewan side of your sale or purchase.

The inspection found a problem. The seller agreed to fix it. Where does that promise belong?

Not as a new term tucked into a Notice to Remove Conditions.

The Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission says that notice removes conditions; it is not the form for adding new terms. Its guidance specifically warns against removing an inspection condition while adding a repair or holdback promise on the same notice.

Ask your REALTOR® and lawyer to put any agreed repair, replacement or holdback terms into the appropriate contract amendment, clearly covering the work, timing and verification. Then confirm whether and how the inspection condition should be removed under your contract.

For financing, don't treat a general pre-approval as proof that all property-specific lender requirements are complete. Clarify outstanding requirements before deciding what to sign.

Use the exact deadlines and notice requirements in your agreement. Do not assume a standard 48-hour period, an automatic extension or that missing a deadline has one universal outcome. Seek advice early if more time is needed.

“Our furnace uses natural gas. Why would a power outage stop the heat?”

Because gas is the fuel—not the whole system.

A typical modern forced-air gas furnace also needs electricity for its controls, ignition and blower. Without power or a suitable backup supply, it generally cannot operate, even if natural gas is still available. Batteries in the thermostat do not power the furnace itself.

That distinction matters when you view a Saskatchewan home. Alongside the furnace's age, ask what model is installed, how it operates and whether any existing backup arrangement has been professionally designed for that equipment. Ask for the manuals and service records rather than assuming “gas heat” means uninterrupted heating.

A gas fireplace is not automatically a whole-home backup either. Whether it operates without mains power, and how much space it can heat, depends on the appliance and installation.

Have a qualified heating contractor or electrician assess backup options. Never improvise wiring or use a barbecue or cooking stove to heat the home.

At a showing, “Does it have heat?” is only the first question. Understanding how that heat reaches the rooms tells you much more.

Before replacing a building's equipment, find out where the energy is going.

Saskatoon launched its Commercial Energy Planner and Commercial Energy Loan Program on October 21. They support qualifying commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-unit residential buildings—not a blanket rebate for every detached homeowner.

The planning program helps owners compare energy and water performance and prioritize improvements. Owners can participate in the planner alone; participation is required to access the separate loan program. Financing is a loan, not free renovation money, and eligibility and terms need to be checked.

A practical first step: gather the building's monthly electricity, gas and water data for January–December 2025, alongside its equipment ages and planned upgrades.

Our view: better operating information can help buyers compare buildings and owners plan capital spending. Actual savings and any effect on value depend on the property and work completed—neither is guaranteed.
