Saskatchewan Housing Strategy

The Government of Saskatchewan released "A Strong Foundation - The Housing Strategy for Saskatchewan" on Monday August 8th. The media release from the Government is here and the Strategy document itself is here.


Saskatchewan’s REALTORS® welcome the development of a comprehensive housing strategy for our province. In particular we welcome the recognition that the involvement of the private sector is a critical piece of the solution. The mid and longer term success of housing policy is likely to be driven by the extent to which it can succeed in making new investment attractive across the entire housing spectrum. And, housing strategy can succeed by facilitating the natural movement of the market, making better use of existing stock in the effort to deliver affordability with quality. REALTORS® are encouraged to see the beginnings of policy designed for these purposes. We are pleased to have been one of the many stakeholder groups that participated in the formulation of the strategy and look forward to working together to ensure its success.
