ＳＡＳＫＡＴＯＯＮ 抢房更趋激烈加价近１．５万

Saskatoon home buyers found little relief from pressured prices this past week（３月１２－１７）.  While the percentage of homes which sold at or above their list price declined from 70% to 61%, the average overbid in instances where homes sold over list price increased to $14,155 from $12,144 the week before.

Area 4 had the lowest percentage of over list sellers with 60% of homes selling at a bit of a discount.  The average overbid dropped from $9,100 to just $5,917.

Area 5, where housing inventories remain tightest, showed an average overbid of $18,767, a big increase from $13,975 the week before.  Here are the numbers.
