He is Alexander Trauzzi, also known in this fine online community as “Alex.” He joined us early on and he’s been a regular commenter on the [...]
All things considered, this was probably a good week for Saskatoon real estate buyers to purchase a home.
On the one hand, active residential listings fell again, slipping below 400 for the first time since the week of June 25-29. Only 8 new listings were offered up for sale. Not a big surprise really. Listing [...]
The “smallest house in Toronto,” measuring just 300 square feet is being offered for sale at $173,000. That’s $577 per square foot.
Sitting on a narrow lot which measures in at 7.25 feet by 113.67 feet, this little charmer has been completely renovated from top to bottom. It features a living room, a kitchen, a [...]

It may be dirty, ugly and smelly but according to this website (no longer available), it also offers “Great bones, and a great location.”
Shocking as it may be, there’s something remarkably refreshing about the truthful approach that this agent has taken to marketing this property. Let’s face it, this is an ugly house and [...]

Activity in the Saskatoon real estate market this week followed the same cooling trend as the weather. The total number of homes sold dropped to just 48 units, down from 78 last week.
