Saskatoon Real Estate News January 1, 2015

Best wishes for a fantastic 2015!

I hope everyone had a happy holiday season this year and had a year that they’ll never forget. I know I certainly did with the year starting off with a trip of a lifetime to Africa and rounding out with the arrival of my son. I’m not sure how 2015 is going to top that but I sure hope it comes close!

I am also proud to say I reached a career highlight this year at my Century 21 National Conference where I won Canadian Sales Associate of the Year. With over 9000 agents nationwide this was a surprising win and I was excited just to have been nominated. I walked across the stage in Niagara Falls, 8 months pregnant, and received my award with great enthusiasm and a few tears. Thank you to everyone who has supported me over my 7+ years in the business and who continue to send your friends/family my way. It was a combination of my sales success but also testimonials provided by clients, my participation in the company and community and about 17 other criteria that led me to win this prestigious award.

Real estate in and around Saskatoon continues to be busy. 2014 saw a balanced market similar to 2013 and an average house price steady at just under $ 356,476. The busiest price point always seems to be the under $350,000 range as there are still a lot of first time buyers getting into the market. As of December 1st the six month rolling average house price in Saskatoon is $346,197 up from $341,065 last year.

Century 21 Fusion continues to support the Air Miles program as well as focusing on Easter Seals as our charity. I work for a great company! We are trying to send more kids to camp every year and with our charity events and donations we achieve this goal year over year.

On another note I also would like to thank all of you for my continued success. I was the only agent in Saskatoon to have achieved Double Centurion in 2013 and have already reached that in 2014. Thank you again for your business and continued support.

 

Enjoy your year and keep in touch!
