## Central finding

Regina's residential benchmark price reached $348,900 in August 2026, a 3.3% increase over August 2025, while the sales-to-new-listings ratio stood at 71%, indicating a persistent seller's market where buyer activity consistently outpaces new supply. Sources:

## How the numbers connect

The Regina residential benchmark price increased by approximately 3.3% from August 2025 to August 2026. Calculation: ($348,900 - $337,700) / $337,700 = 11,200 / 337,700 = 3.32% Definitions: Benchmark price is a constant-mix measure of value changes for residential properties in Regina, SK. The observation period is August 2026 compared to August 2025. Limit: This calculation establishes the year-over-year change in the city benchmark price but does not establish a neighbourhood-level price change or a sustained trend. Sources:

## Regina's Tight Market Drives Price Growth

In August 2026, the residential benchmark price in Regina, SK, was $348,900, down slightly from $349,800 in July but over three percent higher than August 2025. This city-wide metric indicates that while sales volume has moderated slightly from record levels, limited housing stock is maintaining upward pressure on prices. The sales-to-new-listings ratio stands at 71%, well above the 10-year average of 54%, confirming a strong seller's market where buyer activity consistently outpaces new supply.

These figures are measured at the city level and do not establish specific outcomes for Glen Elm Park. However, the persistent supply shortage suggests that buyers in the neighbourhood may face similar competitive conditions. Days on market averaged 30 compared to a 10-year norm of 48, further highlighting the rapid absorption of available homes. Sources:

## Financing Constraints May Moderate Demand

National financing conditions present a counterforce to the strong local demand observed in Regina, SK. Borrowers renewing pandemic-era five-year fixed-rate mortgages can expect an average 15% increase in monthly payments, affecting approximately 12% of all outstanding Canadian mortgages. This payment shock could reduce household disposable income and borrowing capacity, potentially dampening buyer demand. As of September 18, 2026, the lowest available five-year fixed mortgage rate in Canada is 4.24%, with rising bond yields exerting upward pressure on fixed rates.

While these financing mechanisms operate at the national level, they influence the broader economic environment in which Regina operates. However, the combination of rising mortgage costs and Saskatchewan's 4.1% year-over-year CPI increase in July 2026 suggests that affordability pressures may gradually moderate the pace of price appreciation in the coming months.

## Federal Funding Supports Long-Term Supply

The Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) allocates $6 billion over 10 years to accelerate the construction and upgrading of housing-enabling infrastructure. Communities with populations over 30,000 must implement zoning changes allowing four units as-of-right to qualify for this funding. This policy aims to increase density potential in medium-to-large communities, directly boosting housing supply capacity and improving affordability metrics. Projects under the Direct Delivery stream must be substantially completed by September 2031.

Although CHIF is a national program, its requirements for zoning changes and infrastructure investment could indirectly support housing development in Regina, SK. The fund's focus on removing infrastructure bottlenecks may facilitate new construction projects that address the chronic supply gap identified by CMHC, which estimates Canada needs 187,000 to 238,000 homes annually.

## The strongest counter-case

National mortgage renewal data indicates that borrowers renewing pandemic-era five-year fixed-rate mortgages face an average 15% increase in monthly payments, which could reduce borrowing capacity and dampen demand. Additionally, Saskatchewan's CPI rose 4.1% year-over-year in July 2026, exceeding the national average and potentially eroding household disposable income. Sources:

This is a city-wide scenario, not a measured result for Glen Elm Park. Buyers: either way. Buyers should monitor interest rate trends and personal financial readiness; acting either way depends on individual circumstances. Sellers: wait.

## Next 12 months, through September 2027

Prices: rising. Rising (2-4%) for Regina, SK; not a measured target-locality result. Why: Long-term housing supply gaps and federal infrastructure funding may support gradual price recovery in Regina, SK, assuming stable financing conditions. This is a city-wide scenario, not a measured result for Glen Elm Park. Buyers: buy now. Acting now may secure a property before potential long-term price increases driven by supply constraints. Sellers: list now. Sellers can benefit from anticipated long-term price appreciation due to structural supply deficits. Watch: Significant increases in housing completions or a downturn in the broader Canadian economy. Confidence: low. Sources:

[Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund - Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada](https://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/housing-logement/chif-fcil/index-eng.html)

Assumptions: National financing conditions remain stable with no sudden rate hikes; Saskatchewan population growth continues at recent levels; No major local zoning changes alter housing supply capacity in the short term. What would reverse this: A significant increase in mortgage rates or a slowdown in provincial population growth could reduce buyer demand, leading to higher inventory levels and flat or falling prices.
