Saskatchewan REALTORS Association data shows Saskatoon at 1.63 months of supply in August 2026, which is tight enough that a conditional offer competes badly against a firm one. The exception is if you find your next home and it is a rare opportunity that will not last. In that case some sellers bridge the gap with a short-term rental or a possession overlap, but that adds cost and complexity.
In Saskatoon's current tight-supply market, a correctly priced home sells quickly, so the gap between selling and buying can be short. If you sell first, you can typically close in 6 to 8 weeks, and use that time to find your next home without the pressure of carrying two mortgages.
