Zumper said the average price of one and two bedrooms in Saskatoon are both at $1,130, with the prices going up 14.1 per cent year-over year.
“It’s pretty affordable comparatively,” said Crystal Chen, spokesperson for Zumper. “It’s pretty close to the national median where one beds are up about 15 per cent. It’s about five to $600 more affordable than the national median every month.”
Chen said that the 17 per cent year-over-year increase on two bedrooms in Saskatoon is approximately two per cent higher than the national median. “There is a big demand for housing there and currently not enough housing supply and that is why rents are up so high,” Chen said.Chen said that according to housing seasonality, most people are moving near the end of summer and into fall when leases are ending, and students are moving cities for post-secondary programs.
University of Saskatchewan students’ union president Ishita Mann said that students are struggling with the cost of living while moving for post-secondary school. “Areas close to the university are almost holding some sort of premium and are costing a lot of money that the average student just cannot afford with rising tuition costs as well,” Mann said.
