While it doesn’t appear that the Regina real estate market is experiencing the fury we saw this spring, things are still very positive for sellers. Inventory overall remains low with days on market is decreasing as well. There are still numerous multiple offer situations all over the city happening in different price ranges. Homes under $300,000 continue to make up the bulk of our market so first-time home buyers have most of the options.
