What Homes Cost Right Now

As of early 2026, the average home price in Creekside sits around $444,000, according to HonestDoor's January estimate. That's roughly 28% above Regina's citywide average sale price of $346,000 and well above the benchmark of $330,600 (January 2026). On a per-square-foot basis, you're looking at about $360/sqft for recent sales.

That price point puts Creekside in the move-up buyer category. You're not competing with first-time buyers stretching for $300,000 starter homes — you're looking at families who've built equity in their first home and want more space without jumping to a half-million-dollar neighbourhood. For context, Regina's first-time buyers typically target the $300,000 to $400,000 range, while move-up buyers are starting around $400,000 to $500,000. Creekside sits right in that overlap.

It's worth noting that Creekside and The Creeks are completely different neighbourhoods despite the similar names. The Creeks is a post-2010 luxury subdivision further southeast with price points well above $600,000. Creekside is the established, mid-range family neighbourhood in the east end. Buyers mix them up all the time.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina's overall market has been on a steady climb. The residential benchmark price hit $330,600 in January 2026, up 5.5% year-over-year. The average sale price across all property types rose from $326,000 in 2024 to $346,000 in 2025 — a 6% jump. Royal LePage is forecasting another 4% aggregate increase through the end of 2026, with single-family detached homes expected to rise by about 4.5%, from around $430,700 to roughly $450,000.

Creekside has seen some month-to-month fluctuation. The average price dipped about 2.6% from the previous month in the most recent HonestDoor data, following a period of stronger appreciation in late 2025. That kind of movement is normal in a small neighbourhood with low listing volume — one or two sales at different price points can shift the average noticeably. The broader trend over the past year still points upward, consistent with what's happening across the city.

Saskatchewan as a whole has been called one of the hottest housing markets in the country heading into 2026, driven by population growth and strong employment. TD Bank's national housing forecast singled out the province for its momentum. That rising tide benefits established neighbourhoods like Creekside, where the housing stock is well-maintained and supply stays tight.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Creekside is a small neighbourhood, so listings are genuinely rare. When something does come to market, it tends to move quickly. Estimated days on market sit in the 25-35 day range, which is faster than the citywide average of about 32 days. In June 2025, Regina hit a monthly record low of just 23 days on market — and neighbourhoods with tight inventory like Creekside likely ran even faster than that.

Regina's total inventory stood at 496 units in January 2026, roughly 50% below long-term averages. With just 2.88 months of supply across the city, there simply aren't enough homes to meet demand. In a small neighbourhood like Creekside, that tightness is amplified. You might go weeks without a single new listing, and when one appears, prepared buyers tend to act fast. Multiple-offer situations have become more common across the city, and Creekside isn't immune to that.

What You Get at Different Price Points

$350,000-$400,000: At the lower end of Creekside's range, you're looking at bi-levels and some bungalows that might need cosmetic updating. Think original kitchens from the late 1990s, older carpet or flooring, but a solid structure with a double garage and a decent-sized lot. These homes often have finished lower levels that add usable square footage. If you're comfortable putting in some work over time — new countertops, updated paint — you can get into Creekside for less than the neighbourhood average. This price bracket is where Creekside starts to overlap with what you'd find in Parkridge, but with a newer build and more modern layout.

$420,000-$470,000: This is the sweet spot for Creekside. You're getting a 4-level split or larger bi-level that's been reasonably well-maintained — maybe with some updates to the kitchen and bathrooms over the years. Expect three to four bedrooms, two-plus bathrooms, a double attached garage, and a backyard with enough room for kids and a deck. These homes have the open-concept floor plans and vaulted ceilings that were standard in the 1990s developments. They feel more spacious than homes of the same square footage in older East Regina neighbourhoods.

$475,000-$520,000: At the top of the range, you'll find the larger two-storey homes and fully updated properties. We're talking renovated kitchens, modern bathrooms, finished basements with rec rooms or extra bedrooms, and well-landscaped yards on generous lots. Some of these have walk-out basements or backing onto park space. For a fully move-in-ready family home with four-plus bedrooms and all the updates done, this is what you're looking at in Creekside — and it's still well under what comparable square footage costs in newer developments like The Creeks.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Seller's market. There's really no other way to describe it right now. Regina as a whole has been in seller territory for months — December 2025 was the 29th straight month of increased sales, and inventory remains stubbornly low. With 2.88 months of supply citywide and Creekside being a small neighbourhood with very limited turnover, sellers here hold the advantage.

That doesn't mean sellers can name any price they want. Buyers in this range are experienced — they've usually sold a first home and they understand value. Overpricing by $20,000-$30,000 will cost you time and possibly net you less in the end. But if you price correctly and your home shows well, you're in a strong position heading into the spring market. RE/MAX and Royal LePage both forecast continued price appreciation through 2026, so the conditions that favour sellers aren't going away anytime soon.

For buyers, this means having your financing locked in before you start looking. Get pre-approved, know your ceiling, and be ready to make a decision when the right home comes up. Waiting for a flood of inventory in Creekside isn't a realistic strategy — this neighbourhood just doesn't produce high listing volume.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying, set up alerts for Creekside homes for sale immediately. In a neighbourhood this small, new listings can come and go in a matter of days. You'll also want to drive the area — walk through Parkridge Park, check out the proximity to Henry Braun School, and see how quickly you can get to Victoria Avenue's shopping or out to the refinery and Ross Industrial Park. That commute time is one of Creekside's underrated selling points, especially if you work east of the city.

If you're selling, you're working with low competition and strong buyer demand. Even so, don't skip the prep work. Clean sight lines, decluttered rooms, and a tidy yard make a measurable difference in what buyers are willing to pay. In a market where homes are selling in under 30 days, the first impression often determines whether you get one offer or three.

One thing to keep in mind — this neighbourhood is almost entirely single-family homes with a small cluster of condos on the southeast corner. Condo fees apply to those units and typically cover common area maintenance. If you're looking at detached homes, there are no condo fees to worry about.

Finding Your Place in Creekside

Creekside is a neighbourhood that works best for people who value quiet streets, a family-friendly layout, and a location that keeps daily life convenient without feeling cramped. It's not the cheapest option in East Regina, and it's not the flashiest. But it's one of those places where the numbers add up and the lifestyle fits. If you want to see what's currently available, check the latest Creekside homes for sale, or explore more options across East Regina. I'm happy to walk you through what makes sense for your situation.

The real estate market here reflects that stability. The average sale price sits around $480,000, which is well above Regina's citywide average of $346,000. But that number on its own doesn't tell the full story. Windsor Park has everything from condo-style units under $200,000 to custom-built two-storeys pushing past $800,000. The range is wide because the housing stock is genuinely varied — bungalows, bi-levels, two-storeys, walkouts, and a handful of condos and townhouses mixed in. If you're trying to understand what your money actually buys here, that's what the rest of this guide is for.

What Homes Cost Right Now

As of early 2026, active listings in Windsor Park range from about $195,000 for a smaller condo unit up to $875,000 for a large custom-built detached home. The median listing price is hovering around $450,000, which tracks with what this neighbourhood has offered for the past few years — solidly above the city average but not in the luxury tier you'd find in Wascana View.

Here's what the breakdown looks like by housing type:

Condos and townhouses are the entry point. You'll find two-bedroom units with underground parking in the $195,000 to $325,000 range. These tend to be in the smaller complexes along the edges of the neighbourhood, and they're popular with first-time buyers and downsizers.

Detached bungalows with finished basements typically list between $500,000 and $600,000. These are the homes with wider lots, double attached garages, and the kind of mature landscaping that newer subdivisions can't offer yet. Pie-shaped lots backing onto the walking paths command a slight premium.

Two-storey detached homes are the heart of the market here. Most fall in the $525,000 to $700,000 range, with four or five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and professionally finished basements. Custom builds with triple garages, walkout basements, or premium lots can push past $800,000.

Compared to Regina's citywide benchmark of $335,100, Windsor Park runs about 35-40% above average. That premium reflects the schools, the recreation access, the lot sizes, and the overall quality of the housing stock.

How Prices Have Changed

Windsor Park has tracked steadily upward without the dramatic swings some neighbourhoods experienced. The market here is stable because it's a destination neighbourhood — families move in when their kids are young and tend to stay until they're grown. That means turnover is low, which keeps supply tight and prices consistent.

Regina's benchmark price rose about 4.4% year over year heading into 2026, and Windsor Park has kept pace with that. Homes that had their original 1990s finishes — oak cabinets, darker wood trim — updated to more current styles have seen the biggest appreciation. A kitchen renovation that costs $25,000 to $40,000 can add meaningfully to a home's sale price here because buyers in this range expect move-in ready.

Looking ahead, the forecast for Regina is around 2% price growth through 2026. Windsor Park should follow that trend or slightly outperform it, given the consistent demand and limited new construction. There's not much vacant land left in the neighbourhood, so new supply mostly comes from resale — which means the existing homes hold their value well.

One thing to be honest about: if you're looking at Windsor Park as a quick-flip investment, the returns are modest. This is a buy-and-hold neighbourhood. The appreciation is steady but not explosive. The real value is in the lifestyle and the long-term equity building.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Windsor Park homes are moving at a healthy pace right now. The citywide average sits around 29-32 days on market, and well-priced homes in Windsor Park are selling in that same window or faster — especially updated homes in the $450,000 to $650,000 range. Those tend to attract the most buyer attention and can generate multiple offers when they're priced accurately from day one.

Higher-end listings above $700,000 take a bit longer, which is normal. The buyer pool shrinks at that price point, so you're looking at 45-60 days on average. That's not a red flag — it just reflects the reality of fewer buyers at that level.

Regina's overall months of supply sits at 2.88, which is technically a seller's market. Windsor Park is even tighter than that because inventory here is chronically low. When a home comes up, it gets attention. But that doesn't mean every listing flies off the shelf — pricing still matters, and homes that are overpriced will sit regardless of how popular the neighbourhood is.

What You Get at Different Price Points

Here's where it gets practical:

Under $325,000 — You're looking at condo-style living. Two-bedroom units with one or two bathrooms, ranging from about 745 to 1,000 square feet. Most come with underground parking or a dedicated stall, which is a big deal during Saskatchewan winters. Condo fees typically run $200-$350 monthly and cover building maintenance, insurance, and snow removal. These units work well for singles, couples, or anyone who wants to be in Windsor Park without maintaining a yard. Finishes vary — some have been updated, others still have original 2000s-era flooring and fixtures.

$450,000 to $650,000 — This is the sweet spot for families. You'll get a three- to five-bedroom detached home with a double attached garage, finished basement, and a decent-sized yard. The bungalows in this range tend to have around 1,200 to 1,400 square feet on the main floor with vaulted ceilings and open layouts. The two-storeys offer more total square footage. Expect stucco exteriors, ensuite bathrooms, and established trees providing real privacy. Many homes in this range have had at least some updating — new countertops, refreshed paint, updated lighting — but you might still find original elements that could use attention. That's also an opportunity if you're willing to do some cosmetic work and build equity.

$650,000 and up — Premium homes on larger lots, often pie-shaped or backing onto green space or the man-made lake. Custom builds with higher-end finishes, walkout basements, heated garages, and professional landscaping. At the top end ($800,000+), you'll find homes with 2,500-plus square feet above grade, four or five bedrooms, and features like main-floor dens, mudrooms, and triple garages. These homes compete with some of the newer builds in areas like The Creeks, but with the advantage of mature lots and an established community.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

With 2.88 months of supply citywide and even tighter inventory in Windsor Park, sellers have the edge right now. There are typically only six to ten active listings at any given time in this neighbourhood, which means buyers don't have a huge selection to browse through.

If you're selling, that's good news — but it doesn't mean you can list at whatever price you want. Buyers in the $450,000-plus range are careful. They're comparing neighbourhoods, looking at what similar homes sold for, and they'll walk away from a listing that's priced too high relative to condition and location. Pricing accurately from day one still matters.

If you're buying, the limited inventory means you need to be prepared. Know your budget, have your financing ready, and be willing to act when the right home comes up. Waiting around for the "perfect" listing can mean watching from the sidelines for months. That said, you're not in a panic situation — this isn't a bidding-war-on-everything market. It's competitive but manageable if you're organized.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

For buyers: Pay attention to the age of the mechanicals. Homes built in the mid-1990s are now 30 years old, which means furnaces, air conditioners, and hot water tanks may be nearing replacement. Factor those costs into your offer. Also, drive through the neighbourhood at different times of day — Windsor Park is quiet, but Arcola Avenue along the north edge does carry traffic noise that some homes pick up more than others.

For sellers: The homes that sell fastest here are the ones that have been updated. If your kitchen still has the original oak cabinets and laminate counters, a modest refresh can make a real difference in how quickly your home moves and what it sells for. Professional photos and good staging matter too — buyers at this price point have expectations.

For both: Property taxes in Windsor Park reflect the higher assessed values. Make sure you're factoring that into your monthly budget. And if you're comparing to nearby neighbourhoods like University Park, keep in mind that Windsor Park's amenity access — the leisure centre, schools, pathways — is hard to match.

Finding Your Place in Windsor Park

Windsor Park earns its reputation as one of East Regina's most well-rounded neighbourhoods. It's not the newest, it's not the cheapest, and it's not trying to be either. What it offers is a mature community with real amenities, solid homes, and a market that holds its value over time.

If you're exploring the area, take a look at what's currently available in Windsor Park or browse the full picture across East Regina. And if you've got questions about what a specific street or price range looks like here, I'm happy to walk through it with you — no pressure, just straight answers about what's actually happening in the market.

What that means for the market is low turnover and consistent demand. When a home does come up for sale in Varsity Park, it gets attention. The benchmark price is sitting around $611,000, which is nearly double the citywide average of $346,000. That gap tells you something about the quality of what's here: custom-built homes on generous lots with mature landscaping, strong school catchments, and a location that balances seclusion with proximity to everything East Regina offers.

What Homes Cost Right Now

As of early 2026, the average estimated home value in Varsity Park is approximately $628,000, with prices per square foot running around $312. That puts it well above the Regina average of $346,000 and places it alongside other premium East Regina neighbourhoods like Wascana View, which tends to run slightly higher due to newer construction and valley views.

The typical price range you'll encounter here falls between about $500,000 and $750,000. Most homes are large detached properties: bungalows, two-storeys, and split-levels with 3 to 6 bedrooms. A listing that recently appeared in the neighbourhood was a 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home at 2,260 square feet, listed at $615,000 after a $73,000 price reduction. That's fairly representative of the type of home you'll find here.

There isn't much in the way of condos or smaller units in Varsity Park. This is almost entirely a single-family detached market. If you're looking for entry-level pricing, you'll want to explore adjacent areas like University Park or Windsor Park, where condos and smaller homes start well under $300,000.

How Prices Have Changed

Varsity Park's benchmark price hit about $611,000 in fall 2025, which represented an 11% increase year over year. That's a significant jump, and it outpaced the citywide trend where the overall benchmark rose 4.4% to $335,100. Some of that jump reflects the specific homes that traded hands rather than a broad market surge, since with so few sales each year, a couple of higher-end transactions can shift the numbers.

Looking at the bigger picture, Regina's average residential sale price climbed 6% between 2024 and 2025, from $326,000 to $346,000. The forecast for 2026 calls for roughly 2% additional growth citywide, with RE/MAX projecting a steady market supported by strong first-time buyer demand and continued low inventory. Royal LePage expects a somewhat stronger 4% aggregate increase.

For Varsity Park specifically, I'd expect prices to hold steady or tick up modestly. The limited supply of homes, combined with consistent demand from families who prioritize the school catchment and the natural surroundings, creates a floor under prices that's hard to break through. Even during softer periods across Regina, Varsity Park tends to hold its value.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Inventory in Varsity Park is chronically low. In a typical year, you might see 6 to 10 homes list and roughly the same number sell. With only about 7 listings and 6 sales recorded through fall 2025, there isn't a lot of opportunity to wait around and compare options if you're a buyer.

Regina's citywide average sits at about 29 to 32 days on market, with 2.88 months of supply. In Varsity Park, well-priced homes tend to sell at a similar pace or faster because of the pent-up demand from families who've been watching and waiting for something to come available. The neighbourhood's reputation, particularly for the school zone and the natural setting, means there's usually a short list of interested buyers before a listing even hits the MLS.

If you're a seller, this works in your favour. If you're a buyer, the honest advice is to be patient but prepared. When the right home appears, you'll want to move quickly.

What You Get at Different Price Points

Here's what you can generally expect at different price levels in Varsity Park:

$475,000 to $575,000: At this entry level for the neighbourhood, you're looking at smaller bungalows or split-levels, likely on the lower end of the square footage range for the area. These homes were custom-built in the 1980s with solid 2x6 construction and brick or cedar exteriors, but they may not have had significant interior updates. You might find original kitchens, older flooring, and bathrooms that could use attention. The lots are still generous by modern standards, and the location and school catchment are the same as every other home in the neighbourhood. For buyers who are comfortable with renovation, this is how you get into Varsity Park without paying top dollar.

$575,000 to $700,000: This is the core of the market here. You're getting 1,800 to 2,500 square feet, typically 4 or 5 bedrooms, attached double garages, and developed basements. Many homes in this bracket have had at least some updates over the years: newer kitchens, updated windows, refinished hardwood floors. The lots are often 60 feet wide with mature spruce trees and private backyards. Some properties back onto the walking paths along Wascana Creek or the green spaces that thread through the neighbourhood. This is where the majority of family buyers land.

$700,000 and above: At the top end, you're looking at the largest and most updated homes in the neighbourhood. These are often 2,500+ square feet with extensive renovations, including opened-up floor plans, modern kitchens, and finished lower levels with recreation rooms or additional bedrooms. Some of the premium lots back directly onto the Wascana Country Club fairways or the treeline of the golf course, offering some of the most private outdoor spaces in the city. At this price point, you're paying for a move-in-ready home on a premium lot in one of East Regina's most desirable locations.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Varsity Park is firmly in seller's territory right now, and it has been for a while. With only a handful of listings available at any given time and steady demand from families who want the school zone, the nature access, and the quiet streets, sellers have the advantage. Citywide, Regina is sitting at 2.88 months of supply, and Varsity Park's inventory is tighter than that.

If you're selling, you're in a good position, but pricing still matters. Buyers at this level are informed. They know what comparable homes in Wascana View or The Creeks are going for, and they'll push back on a price that doesn't match the condition and updates of the home. Getting it right from the start saves time and generates stronger offers.

If you're buying, don't be discouraged by the limited selection. Homes do come up, and lower interest rates heading into 2026 should help with affordability. The key is working with someone who knows when listings are about to hit the market and can help you evaluate quickly.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying, understand that most homes in Varsity Park are 35 to 45 years old. That's not a problem, but it means you should budget for a thorough inspection. Look at the roof, furnace, hot water tank, and windows. Many homeowners have already replaced these, but some haven't. Also, the neighbourhood's limited entry points mean you're a short drive from East Regina's major shopping (Costco, Superstore, East End Power Centre), but you're not within walking distance of commercial amenities.

If you're selling, presentation matters here. Buyers at this price range expect homes to show well. Invest in staging, professional photography, and any minor updates that make the home feel current. Well-maintained landscaping goes a long way too, since the mature lots are part of what draws people here in the first place.

Finding Your Place in Varsity Park

Varsity Park works for people who value privacy, nature, and stability over novelty. What it offers is space, quality construction, one of the best school catchments in the city, and a setting along Wascana Creek that newer developments simply can't match.

Regina's average home price is about $346,000, up roughly 6% from 2024, with another 2% forecast for 2026. The citywide vacancy rate sits at 2.7% — tight enough that landlords aren't scrambling to find tenants. The University of Regina brings a steady stream of students, and industrial and commercial areas along Victoria Avenue East create demand from workers who want to live close to their jobs. Real tenant demand, not just theory.

That said, investment isn't a shortcut. It takes planning, math, and honest expectations. Let's walk through what makes certain East Regina neighbourhoods worth considering — and what to watch out for.

What Makes a Good Investment Neighbourhood

Before you start scrolling through listings, it helps to know what you're actually looking for. A good investment neighbourhood isn't always the prettiest or newest one. It's the one where the numbers work.

Price-to-rent ratio is probably the most important factor. You want a purchase price that's low enough relative to the rent it brings in. Paying $250,000 for a condo and collecting $1,400 a month is a very different picture than paying $450,000 and collecting $1,800.

Appreciation trends matter for the long game. Some neighbourhoods see consistent price growth from new construction or increasing popularity. Others are more stable — they won't jump in value, but they won't drop either. Both can work depending on your strategy.

Tenant demand is where investors get it wrong. You need people who actually want to live where your property is. Proximity to schools, shopping, transit routes, and employment centres all drive demand.

Vacancy rates tell you how easy it'll be to keep the property occupied. Regina's at 2.7% citywide, which is healthy. But some neighbourhoods fill faster than others.

Housing stock condition is the one people forget. Older homes need more maintenance. That $150,000 condo from 1994 might look like a deal until the building needs a new roof. Factor maintenance into your calculations from the start.

Best for Rental Income: High-Yield Neighbourhoods

If your goal is cash flow — collecting more in rent than you're paying out in mortgage, insurance, taxes, and maintenance — these neighbourhoods give you the best shot.

Riverbend is one of the strongest options for rental yield in East Regina. Condos here range from about $150,000 to $250,000, and you can estimate rents between $1,200 and $1,500 per month. On a $200,000 condo renting for $1,300 a month, that's an estimated gross yield around 7.8%. The neighbourhood is close to Victoria Square Shopping Centre and Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre, which gives renters practical amenities without needing a car for everything. Turnover is low here — once you've got a tenant, they tend to stay.

Spruce Meadows offers a median price around $238,900. The proximity to industrial employers creates a natural tenant pool — people who work nearby and don't want a long commute. Sandra Schmirler Centre is right there, and the area feels established without being dated. With rents for single-family homes in the $1,400 to $1,600 range, estimated gross yields land in the 6% to 7% range.

Wood Meadows sits in the $280,000 to $285,000 range, a bit higher than the other two. But it's got walkability to Victoria Square — tenants care about being able to walk to a grocery store or pharmacy. That convenience keeps vacancy periods shorter. Estimated rents run $1,500 to $1,700 for a detached home, putting gross yield in the 6% to 7% range as well.

Best for Appreciation: Growing Neighbourhoods

If you're playing the long game — buying now and counting on the property itself to grow in value over 5 to 10 years — these neighbourhoods are where the growth is happening.

Greens on Gardiner is one of the newer communities in East Regina, with homes typically in the $350,000 to $450,000 range. Newer construction means lower maintenance costs in the early years, and the modern finishes attract families willing to pay a premium. As development continues and the neighbourhood fills in, values have room to grow. You won't see the same rental yields as more affordable areas, but the appreciation potential makes up for it.

The Creeks is a different kind of investment entirely. With a median around $900,000, this isn't where you go for cash flow. It's where you go if you believe luxury homes in East Regina will continue to appreciate as the city grows. Not typical investment territory, but for someone with the capital, the appreciation play is real.

East Pointe Estates offers newer builds at more moderate prices. It's still growing, with new construction drawing families who want something modern. Prices are lower than Greens on Gardiner in many cases, making it a middle-ground option for appreciation potential without committing $400,000 or more.

Best for First-Time Investors: Low Entry, Solid Returns

If you've never owned an investment property before, start small. You don't need the most expensive home or the highest possible return. You need something manageable that teaches you how this works without putting you in a financial hole if things don't go perfectly.

Riverbend condos are a natural starting point. At $150,000 to $200,000, your down payment and carrying costs are lower. Strong rental demand and low vacancy mean you're less likely to sit with an empty unit for months. Condo fees cover some maintenance, which simplifies things when you're still learning.

Spruce Meadows gives you a step up into detached homes without jumping past $300,000. The tenant pool — workers, young families, people who want to be near the east side's commercial corridor — is reliable.

Eastbrook is another option that doesn't get enough attention. It's established, affordable, and practical. You won't find the flashiest houses, but you'll find properties that rent reliably to tenants who value proximity to schools and services. For a first investment, predictability matters more than potential.

The key for first-timers: don't stretch your budget to the breaking point. Leave room for vacancies, repairs, and the unexpected. A property that makes you $200 a month after expenses is better than one that would make $500 if everything goes perfectly — because everything won't go perfectly.

What to Watch Out For

I wouldn't be doing my job if I only talked about the upside. Investment properties come with real risks, and you should know about them before you commit.

Older homes cost more to maintain. That 1990s condo in Riverbend might have a great purchase price, but if the building needs a new boiler or the windows are failing, you could be looking at a special assessment that wipes out a year's worth of rental income. Always review the condo reserve fund and recent board minutes before you buy.

Condo boards matter. A well-managed building protects your investment. A poorly managed one can drain it. Ask about upcoming projects, reserve fund health, and whether there have been special assessments in the last five years.

Vacancy happens. Even in a 2.7% vacancy market, your unit might sit empty between tenants. Budget for at least one month of vacancy per year, and you won't be caught off guard.

Property management costs money. If you're not managing it yourself, expect to pay 8% to 10% of your monthly rent to a property management company. That changes your return calculation.

Interest rates affect your numbers. The rate you get on an investment property mortgage will be higher than on your primary residence. Run the numbers with your actual rate, not a best-case scenario.

The Numbers: Purchase Price vs Monthly Rent

Here's a quick comparison of what you might expect across a few key East Regina neighbourhoods. These are estimates based on current market data — your actual returns will depend on the specific property, its condition, and your financing terms.

Important: Gross yield doesn't account for condo fees, property tax, insurance, maintenance, or vacancy. Your actual net return will be lower. These numbers are based on current data and aren't a guarantee of future performance. Always run your own calculations with a mortgage broker or financial advisor before buying.

Getting Started with Investment in East Regina

If these numbers look like they could work for you, the next step is figuring out which neighbourhood and property type match your budget and goals. An investor with $50,000 for a down payment and one with $150,000 are looking at very different options.

I work with buyers in East Regina every day, and I can help you figure out which neighbourhoods make sense for what you're trying to accomplish. We'll look at current listings, run the numbers together, and make sure you're not overlooking anything. If you'd like to talk it through, reach out and we'll get started.

That spread matters because your neighbourhood choice doesn't just affect your mortgage payment — it shapes your property taxes, utilities, insurance, and how much equity you'll build over time. A $50,000 difference in purchase price can mean $250 to $350 less per month in total housing costs. Over five years, that's $15,000 to $21,000 you either spend or keep.

I've put together a full price comparison of all 20 East Regina neighbourhoods so you can see exactly where each one sits. No guessing, no vague ranges — just the numbers side by side.

The Price Ladder: Every East Regina Neighbourhood Ranked

Here's where every neighbourhood falls, listed from most affordable to most expensive based on typical sale prices in early 2026. I've included the common home types you'll find at each price point.

1. Riverbend — $150,000 to $300,000 (condos and townhomes)

2. Spruce Meadows — $238,900 median / $264,340 average (condos and detached)

3. Wood Meadows — $279,900 to $285,000 (1980s detached homes)

4. Parkridge — $280,000 to $330,000 (1980s-2000s detached)

5. Varsity Park — $280,000 to $380,000 (mixed housing stock)

6. Eastbrook — $280,000 to $350,000 (detached homes)

7. Gardiner Heights — $300,000 to $370,000 (detached homes)

8. The Towns — $300,000 to $380,000 (newer townhomes and detached)

9. Glencairn — $300,750 average (bungalows, bi-levels, split-levels)

10. Richmond Place — $310,000 to $380,000 (detached homes)

11. Windsor Park — $300,000 to $400,000 (mixed stock)

12. Greens on Gardiner — $350,000 to $450,000 (newer detached)

13. East Pointe Estates — $207,500 condos / $350,000 to $450,000 detached

14. Woodland Grove — $380,000 to $480,000 (newer detached)

15. University Park — $400,000 to $500,000 (larger detached)

16. Creekside — $456,398 average (newer builds, 38% above citywide average)

17. Wascana View — $450,000 to $600,000 (premium detached)

18. The Creeks — $899,900 to $919,450 median (luxury custom builds)

The citywide average sits at $346,000 and the benchmark price is $335,100. That means roughly half the neighbourhoods on this list come in below average, and half sit above. You've got options at almost every budget level without leaving east Regina.

Note: East Pointe Estates appears twice on this list because its condo market ($207K-$300K) and its detached market ($350K-$450K) serve very different buyers. If you're looking at condos specifically, it's one of the most affordable entry points in the area.

Entry-Level Buying: Where to Get In Under $300,000

If your budget tops out around $300,000, you've got six neighbourhoods to work with — and each one gets you something a bit different.

Riverbend has the lowest entry point in all of east Regina. Condos start around $150,000, and townhomes range from $200,000 to $300,000. At $150K, your monthly mortgage payment on a 25-year term at 5% with 5% down would be roughly $835. Add property taxes and condo fees and you're looking at around $1,200 to $1,400 per month total. That's competitive with renting a two-bedroom apartment in Regina.

Spruce Meadows offers the best median price for a detached home — $238,900. That's 28% below the citywide benchmark. At that price, you're paying about $267 per square foot, which is solid value.

Wood Meadows sits at $279,900 to $285,000 and runs 19 to 22% below the citywide average. Most homes here are 1980s builds with larger lots and mature trees — you're trading newer finishes for more space.

Parkridge, Eastbrook, and Varsity Park all have entry points at or near $280,000. Parkridge gives you 1980s-2000s homes with double garages. Eastbrook has a similar profile. Varsity Park offers a wider mix of housing types.

The honest trade-off at this tier: you're buying homes that are 25 to 40 years old. Budget an extra $5,000 to $15,000 for near-term maintenance — things like furnace replacement, shingle repairs, or window upgrades. A proper home inspection isn't optional here. It's how you avoid a $20,000 surprise six months after closing.

The Mid-Range Sweet Spot: $300,000 to $450,000

This is where most east Regina buying activity happens, and it's where you've got the most choice.

Gardiner Heights ($300,000-$370,000), The Towns ($300,000-$380,000), Glencairn (~$300,750 average), and Richmond Place ($310,000-$380,000) form the lower half of this tier. You're paying close to the citywide average and getting established neighbourhoods with schools, shopping, and transit access.

Windsor Park ($300,000-$400,000), Greens on Gardiner ($350,000-$450,000), and East Pointe Estates detached ($350,000-$450,000) push into the upper range — newer builds, more consistent lot sizes, and proximity to trails. Woodland Grove ($380,000-$480,000) straddles the mid-range and premium tiers.

Here's the math: at $350,000, your monthly mortgage payment on a 25-year amortization at 5% with 10% down is about $1,838. At $450,000, that jumps to $2,364 — a difference of $526 per month, or $6,312 per year. That gap buys a lot of groceries, hockey registrations, or RRSP contributions.

Premium East Regina: $450,000 and Up

Three neighbourhoods consistently price above the $450,000 mark.

University Park ($400,000-$500,000) is the entry point to premium. Larger lots, proximity to the University of Regina, and solid resale history make it popular with families who want space without reaching into luxury territory.

Creekside averages $456,398 — 38% above the citywide average. It's newer construction with modern floor plans, and the price reflects that. Wascana View ranges from $450,000 to $600,000 and offers some of the best views and trail access in the city.

Then there's The Creeks at a median of $899,900 to $919,450. This is custom-build territory — large lots, high-end finishes, and prices that are roughly 2.5 to 2.7 times the citywide average. It's a different market entirely, and the buyers here tend to be moving up from mid-range east Regina homes or relocating from other provinces.

Monthly Costs Beyond the Purchase Price

The sticker price is only part of the story. Here's how other costs vary across east Regina neighbourhoods.

Property taxes in Regina are calculated on assessed value. As a rough guide, expect to pay about 1.1 to 1.3% of your home's assessed value annually. On a $240,000 home in Spruce Meadows, that's roughly $2,640 to $3,120 per year ($220-$260/month). On a $900,000 home in The Creeks, you're looking at $9,900 to $11,700 per year ($825-$975/month). That's a $600+ monthly difference just in taxes.

Utilities vary more by home size and age than by neighbourhood. A 1,000-square-foot bungalow in Glencairn costs less to heat than a 2,500-square-foot two-storey in Wascana View — though older homes may have less efficient windows. Typical utility costs run $250 to $400 per month depending on the season.

Condo fees apply in Riverbend, East Pointe Estates, and parts of Spruce Meadows. Expect $150 to $350 per month depending on the complex. Factor them into your monthly budget — they don't disappear, and they can increase over time.

Insurance tends to run $100 to $200 per month. Older homes with original electrical or plumbing may sit at the higher end until systems are updated.

Which Neighbourhood Gives You the Most Space for Your Money?

Price per square foot tells you what you're actually paying for livable space. Here's how the numbers shake out across east Regina.

The most affordable per-square-foot options are in the established neighbourhoods. Glencairn comes in around $248 per square foot. Wood Meadows sits at $258 to $262. Spruce Meadows averages $267. Compare that to the citywide average of $274 per square foot and you're saving $6 to $26 on every square foot of home.

At the other end, Creekside and The Creeks run well above the city average — you're paying for newer construction and neighbourhood amenities.

The practical takeaway: if you need 1,500 square feet, the difference between $248/sqft in Glencairn and $274/sqft at the city average is $39,000. That's real money that could go toward upgrades, a bigger down payment, or keeping your monthly costs comfortable.

Finding the Right Price Point for You

The best neighbourhood for you isn't the cheapest one — it's the one that fits your actual budget and your actual life. A $240,000 home in Spruce Meadows might be perfect for a first-time buyer, while a $350,000 home in Greens on Gardiner makes more sense for a growing family that needs the extra space.

I'm happy to walk through the numbers for any neighbourhood on this list. We can look at what you'd actually pay monthly, what your carrying costs would be, and what makes sense for where you are right now. No pressure, no rush — just the math.

If you'd like to start exploring, you can browse all east Regina listings here or reach out and we'll go through it together.

It's still being built out, which matters if you're thinking about buying here. Active construction means you've got options—new builds from multiple builders, resale homes from early phases, and different price points depending on what you're after. There are roughly 20 listings active in Eastbrook right now, which is a lot more inventory than most East Regina neighbourhoods. That gives buyers something they don't always have in this market: choice.

Let's get into the actual numbers.

What Homes Cost Right Now

Eastbrook has one of the widest price ranges in East Regina because there's such a mix of housing types.

Semi-detached homes start around $370,000 for about 1,100 square feet. These are newer builds—3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laned configurations with rear parking. They're a genuine entry point into a neighbourhood that otherwise runs much higher.

Detached laned homes (front porch style, garage in the back) sit in the $430,000 to $530,000 range. You're getting 1,400 to 1,600 square feet, open-concept main floors, and that distinct architectural character that makes Eastbrook look the way it does.

Front-attached garage homes with more square footage—think 1,700 to 2,000+ square feet—run from $550,000 to $600,000. And the larger executive-style homes, especially ones backing green space or on premium lots, push into the $670,000 to $730,000 range.

For context, Regina's citywide median home price is around $335,000 as of early 2026. Even Eastbrook's entry-level options sit well above that. You're paying a premium here, but you're also getting new construction, enforced architectural standards, and a neighbourhood that was planned from the ground up with walkability and green space in mind.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina's housing market has been on a steady climb. The average residential sale price rose about 6% between 2024 and 2025 citywide, and Royal LePage is forecasting another 4% increase for 2026. Single-family detached homes are expected to see the strongest gains—around 4.5% year over year.

Eastbrook benefits from that broader trend, but it's also got its own dynamic. Because it's still under active development, pricing is influenced by what builders are releasing in new phases. Builder pricing has crept up over the past couple of years as construction costs have risen—materials, labour, new building code requirements. A home that started at $510,000 in 2023 might be listed at $555,000 for a similar build today.

Resale homes here are interesting too. Buyers sometimes prefer a resale Eastbrook home over a new build because they can skip the GST (which is baked into new construction pricing) and get a home that's already landscaped. That demand keeps resale values strong.

The neighbourhood is still early enough in its development that there's real upside. As more amenities come online and phases fill in, early buyers tend to see solid appreciation.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Across Eastbrook, the average days on market sits around 25 days—which is right in line with Regina's broader market. But that number hides some important differences.

Resale homes that are already landscaped and lived-in tend to move faster. Buyers who don't want to wait for a new build or deal with construction timelines gravitate toward these, and they often sell within the first couple of weeks if they're priced right.

New construction listings can sit a bit longer, partly because builders keep inventory available and partly because buyers are comparing floor plans across multiple builders. That's not a sign of weak demand—it's just how new-construction shopping works.

Regina overall is sitting at about 2 months of supply right now, which firmly favours sellers. Eastbrook has a bit more inventory than most East Regina neighbourhoods simply because builders are still releasing lots, but demand has stayed consistent.

What You Get at Different Price Points

$370,000–$460,000 (semi-detached and smaller laned homes): This is your entry into Eastbrook. Semi-detached homes around 1,100 square feet give you 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in a brand-new build. Laned homes at the higher end of this range bump you up to about 1,400 square feet with a detached feel and rear garage. You won't get a huge yard, but you'll get that Eastbrook architectural style and walkable access to Acre 21 (groceries, restaurants, banking—all within a few minutes on foot). These are popular with first-time buyers and young couples who want to get into East Regina without stretching past $500K.

$480,000–$600,000 (mid-range detached homes): This is the heart of Eastbrook's market. You're looking at 1,500 to 1,800 square feet, 3 to 4 bedrooms, open-concept main floors, and the kinds of finishes that make these homes feel a step above—stone feature walls, electric fireplaces, upgraded kitchens. Many come with suite-ready basements (side entrance, framed walls, roughed-in plumbing), which is a real asset if you want rental income down the road. At this price point, you're getting the full Eastbrook experience without paying for a premium lot position.

$620,000–$730,000+ (larger homes and premium lots): Here you're looking at 1,800 to 2,100+ square feet, 4+ bedrooms, bonus rooms, double attached garages, and finished basements—some with fully legal suites already completed. The biggest price driver at this level is lot position. Homes backing onto naturalized green space or parks command the most. Fully landscaped yards with underground sprinklers and rear decks are common at this tier. These homes appeal to growing families who want space to spread out and investors who see the rental suite as a mortgage helper.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Regina's been in seller's market territory for over a year now, and Eastbrook follows that trend—but with a twist. Because builders are still actively releasing phases and lots, buyers have more selection here than in established neighbourhoods where you might see 2 or 3 listings total.

That active construction gives buyers some leverage they wouldn't have elsewhere. You can comparison shop between builders. You can negotiate on upgrades, closing timelines, or included features. You can't always do that in a place like Woodland Grove or Wood Meadows, where inventory is scarce and sellers hold more cards.

For sellers—especially those in the earlier phases who already have landscaping done and a lived-in home—you're in a strong position. Resale buyers in Eastbrook are motivated, and they're willing to pay a fair price to skip the new-build wait.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying new construction, remember that the listed price typically includes GST and PST, but confirm that with the builder. Landscaping, fencing, and window coverings are often not included—budget an extra $15,000 to $25,000 for those.

If you're buying resale, you avoid the tax hit and usually get a home that's already set up. Pay attention to whether the basement is finished, suite-ready, or unfinished—that changes the value significantly.

Property taxes in Eastbrook run around $5,500 to $6,500 per year depending on assessed value. The Saskatchewan New Home Warranty covers most builds here, which provides some peace of mind on newer homes.

And keep an eye on school announcements. Eastbrook is served by Ecole Wascana Plains and Ecole St. Elizabeth right now, with a future elementary and high school planned within the community. That's a meaningful draw for families.

Finding Your Place in Eastbrook

Eastbrook's got something most Regina neighbourhoods don't: real architectural character in a brand-new community. It's not finished yet, and that's actually part of the opportunity. Prices are still accessible compared to what they'll likely be once construction wraps up and inventory tightens.

If you've got questions about specific Eastbrook homes or you want to talk through what makes sense for your budget, I'm happy to walk through it with you. No rush, no pressure—just honest information about what's actually happening here.Eastbrook isn’t like other new neighbourhoods in Regina. Most new developments hand you a row of vinyl-sided houses that all look the same, and you figure out which one’s yours by checking the house number. Eastbrook’s different. There’s an Architectural Control Committee that reviews every single build, and they enforce variety—Tudor next to Prairie next to Farmhouse next to Modern. No two identical houses on the same street. It’s one of the few places in the city where “new construction” doesn’t mean “cookie-cutter.”

It’s still being built out, which matters if you’re thinking about buying here. Active construction means you’ve got options—new builds from multiple builders, resale homes from early phases, and different price points depending on what you’re after. There are roughly 20 listings active in Eastbrook right now, which is a lot more inventory than most East Regina neighbourhoods.

From a pricing standpoint, The Towns sits above Regina’s citywide average of about $346,000 but well below the executive-level communities nearby. The average home price here is roughly $467,000, and there’s a wide spread depending on whether you’re looking at a street town (row housing) or a detached lane home with a finished basement suite. With about 36-41 active listings at any given time, there’s real inventory to choose from — which is honestly unusual for a neighbourhood this popular.

What Homes Cost Right Now

The price range in The Towns is broader than most people expect. Current listings span from about $380,000 for a street town up to $715,000 for a larger detached home with premium finishes.

The average estimated home value sits around $467,000, with sold prices running about $287 per square foot. That per-square-foot number is your real comparison tool — it tells you what the market’s actually paying, not what sellers are hoping for.

Here’s the thing worth knowing: Regina’s citywide average residential sale price hit $346,000 in 2025, up 6% from 2024. The Towns runs about 35% above that citywide number, which makes sense given that almost everything here was built after 2015 and comes with modern finishes, energy-efficient builds, and functional floor plans. For context, neighbouring Greens on Gardiner averages around $612,000, so The Towns offers a meaningful step down in price while still being in the same part of the city with similar amenities.

Rental estimates for homes here are around $2,300 per month, which matters if you’re thinking about buying a place with a legal basement suite. A lot of buyers in The Towns are doing exactly that — using suite income to help qualify for the mortgage.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina’s housing market has been on a steady upward path. Royal LePage’s Q4 2025 data shows the aggregate home price in Regina at $390,600 — up 2.8% year over year. Single-family detached homes specifically climbed 3.7% to a median of $430,700.

For 2026, forecasters are calling for another 4% increase in Regina’s aggregate home prices, which would push the citywide number toward $410,000. RE/MAX’s forecast is a bit more conservative at 2% growth, but both agree the direction is up. That’s relevant for The Towns because this neighbourhood tends to track with Regina’s overall growth patterns while benefiting from the fact that it’s still actively being built out — new phases keep attracting fresh buyer interest.

The Towns hasn’t seen dramatic price swings in either direction. Values have appreciated gradually, which is what you actually want if you’re buying here. Wild price jumps look exciting until they correct. Steady, measured growth means your equity builds without the anxiety of wondering if you bought at a peak.

One factor to watch: new home construction in Regina saw a 40% jump in housing starts in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. Some of that activity is happening right here in The Towns, with builders like Pacesetter still putting up new inventory. That ongoing construction keeps prices grounded because buyers can compare resale to brand-new — and that competition is healthy.

The Towns is one of the busiest neighbourhoods in East Regina for transaction volume. It consistently has more listings and more sales than its neighbours, partly because of the sheer size of the community and partly because of the price accessibility.

Redfin data shows homes here averaging about 47 days on market, which is a bit longer than Regina’s citywide average of around 29 days. That sounds like a negative, but it’s actually a reflection of the volume — there are more homes to choose from, so buyers aren’t as pressured to grab the first one they see. With 36-41 active listings at any given time, there’s genuine selection here.

The pace picks up significantly for well-priced homes in the $430,000-$530,000 range. Those tend to move faster, especially lane homes with finished basements. Overpriced listings or homes without a legal suite tend to sit a bit longer — which is the market telling you something useful about what buyers actually value here.

What You Get at Different Price Points

This is where The Towns gets interesting, because there’s real variety within a single neighbourhood.

$380,000-$420,000: Street Towns and Smaller Configurations At this price, you’re looking at row housing — what The Towns calls “street towns.” These are fee simple, meaning you own the land and there are no condo fees. That’s a big deal. You’ll get 3 beds, 3 baths, and roughly 1,250-1,400 square feet. The finishes are clean and modern, and you’ll have a front-attached single garage. These are the entry point, and they’re popular with first-time buyers and investors for good reason. You’re getting new construction quality without stretching into the $500Ks.

$430,000-$530,000: The Heart of the Market This is where most of the action is. You’re stepping into detached or semi-detached lane homes with rear garages, 3-4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and about 1,400-1,600 square feet above grade. Many of these come with finished basements — some with legal suites that have separate entrances, their own kitchen, and a full bedroom. Modern open-concept layouts, quartz countertops, and second-floor laundry are standard here. If you’re a young family or a move-up buyer, this bracket gives you the most for your dollar in The Towns.

$530,000-$715,000: Premium Builds and Larger Homes At the top end, you’re getting 4-6 bedrooms, 3-4 bathrooms, 1,700-2,140 square feet, and upgraded everything — better lot positioning, higher-end kitchen packages, and finished basements that essentially double your living space. Some of these homes are listed with legal suites already generating income. If you’re comparing to Greens on Gardiner or Eastbrook, you’ll notice you can get a comparable square footage in The Towns for less money, and the community amenities are genuinely better.

Is It a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?

Regina overall is in a seller’s market heading into 2026. Low inventory citywide, strong demand from first-time buyers and move-up purchasers, and rising rental costs are all pushing people toward buying. Royal LePage expects conditions to keep favouring sellers through the year.

But The Towns is a bit different from the citywide picture. Because there’s active new construction alongside resale inventory, buyers here have more options than in established neighbourhoods where supply is truly tight. You’re not going to see the bidding wars that pop up in older, more supply-constrained areas. That said, well-priced homes still attract multiple interested parties, especially anything under $500,000 with a legal suite.

If you’re selling in The Towns, you’ve got solid demand but you need to be realistic about pricing. Buyers here are savvy — they can walk across the street and compare your resale home to a brand-new build from a developer. Price it right and it’ll move. Overprice it and it’ll sit while the new builds get the traffic.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

The biggest thing about The Towns is the basement suite dynamic. Legal suites are a major selling feature here, and homes with them sell faster and command higher prices. If you’re buying and the home doesn’t have one, factor in the cost to add it later.

A new joint-use elementary and high school has been confirmed for The Towns. That’s a significant draw for families and a genuine value driver for the neighbourhood long term. Right now, kids go to schools in nearby areas like The Creeks or Greens on Gardiner — the new school will change the commute equation entirely.

Also worth noting: the density here is intentional, not a compromise. Lots are smaller, homes are closer together, and the rear-lane design means your front yard faces people, not garage doors. Some folks want that village feel and some don’t. Walk the neighbourhood before you decide.

Finding Your Place in The Towns

The Towns works for a wide range of people — first-time buyers stretching into their first detached home, investors looking for suite income, young families who want to walk to coffee instead of driving everywhere. It’s not the cheapest option in East Regina, but it’s one of the most livable.

What Homes Cost Right Now

As of early 2026, the new listing median in Parkridge sits at $329,000, while active listings have a median of $269,450. That’s a wide spread, and it tells you something — the homes coming to market right now are priced higher because sellers know inventory is tight. The lower active median reflects a condo currently listed under $210,000, which brings the number down.

For single-family detached homes, most sales land in the $280,000 to $330,000 range. That’s well below the citywide benchmark of $330,600 and significantly under the Regina average sale price of $327,161 (January 2026). You’re getting more house per dollar here than in most East Regina neighbourhoods, and that’s been true for a while.

Condos and townhomes start in the low $200,000s, which makes Parkridge one of the more accessible entry points for first-time buyers in the east end. A two-bedroom condo with a parking stall and low fees can be had for around $210,000, which is hard to find at that price point elsewhere in East Regina.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina’s residential benchmark price hit $330,600 in January 2026 — up 5.5% year-over-year. Across all property types, the average residential sale price has climbed from $326,000 in 2024 to $346,000 in 2025, a 6% increase. Royal LePage is forecasting another 4% aggregate price increase for Regina through the end of 2026, with single-family detached homes expected to rise by about 4.5%.

Parkridge has tracked along with those broader trends, though more modestly. This isn’t a neighbourhood where you’ll see wild price spikes — it’s more of a slow, steady climb. Families who bought here in the early 2000s for $180,000-$220,000 are sitting on homes now worth $280,000-$330,000. That’s meaningful equity built over time without any of the volatility you sometimes see in newer developments.

Saskatchewan’s benchmark price hit $359,000 provincially in December 2025, up 7% year-over-year. The province has been called one of the hottest housing markets in the country heading into 2026, driven by population growth and job creation. Parkridge benefits from that rising tide, but the price floor here stays lower than many neighbourhoods, which is exactly what keeps it attractive to a broad range of buyers.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Here’s the thing about Parkridge right now — there are only 2 active listings. Two. In a neighbourhood of several hundred homes, that’s extremely low inventory. The median days on market is 52, which sounds moderate until you factor in that well-priced, move-in-ready homes tend to sell much faster — often with multiple offers.

Regina as a whole has just 2.88 months of supply, which puts it firmly in seller’s market territory. Parkridge is even tighter than that. Both current listings already have conditional sale status, which means there’s effectively nothing available for a buyer walking in today. When new listings do pop up, prepared buyers move quickly.

What You Get at Different Price Points

Under $220,000: At this range, you’re looking at condos and townhomes. A two-bedroom condo with about 840 square feet, one bathroom, a parking stall, and a balcony is realistic here. These units are usually in well-maintained complexes with low condo fees that include water. They’re close to Henry Braun School and the spray pad, making them practical for young families or anyone looking to keep housing costs low while living in a good community.

$260,000-$300,000: This is where you’ll find bungalows and bi-levels that might need some updating. Think original kitchens, older flooring, but solid bones — double garages, finished basements, and mature lots with established landscaping. These homes are perfect for buyers who don’t mind putting in some work over time. The lots alone are worth the entry price — you’re getting generous backyards with 40-year-old trees that newer subdivisions like Wood Meadows or Creekside simply can’t match.

$300,000-$340,000: At the top of Parkridge’s range, you’re getting a larger two-storey or split-level home that’s been updated. Modern kitchen, refreshed bathrooms, newer windows — move-in ready with space for a growing family. Some of these homes have finished basements with secondary suites (non-regulation), which adds rental income potential. A five-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a double attached garage at $329,000? That’s the kind of value that turns heads when buyers compare it to what that money buys elsewhere.

Is It a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?

Seller’s market, without question. With only 2 active listings and both already conditionally sold, Parkridge has essentially zero available inventory right now. Regina’s 2.88 months of supply is already well below the balanced market threshold of 4-5 months, and Parkridge is tighter than the city average.

For sellers, this means pricing correctly still matters — but if your home is in good shape and priced within range, you’re likely to see strong interest quickly. Don’t get greedy, though. Buyers here are practical people, and they’ll walk if the numbers don’t make sense.

For buyers, you need to be ready before the listing goes live. That means pre-approval in hand, clear on your must-haves, and willing to move fast when something comes up. Waiting for the perfect home at the perfect price in a neighbourhood with this little turnover is a recipe for frustration.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you’re buying, set up alerts for new Parkridge listings so you’re notified the moment something hits the market. In a neighbourhood with this little inventory, timing matters more than anything. Know your budget, know what you’re willing to compromise on, and be ready to write an offer.

If you’re selling, now’s a good window. Low inventory means less competition, and buyer demand across Regina remains strong heading into 2026. Even modest updates — fresh paint, cleaned-up landscaping, decluttered rooms — can make a real difference in how fast you sell and what you get.

Finding Your Place in Parkridge

Parkridge is the kind of neighbourhood where neighbours wave from their driveways and kids walk to school without crossing a major road. It’s not the newest part of East Regina, but that’s exactly what gives it character — the trees, the lot sizes, the sense that people actually stay. If you’re weighing your options, I’m happy to walk you through what’s available and what makes sense for your situation. Browse current Parkridge homes for sale, or explore more of what East Regina has to offer. Let’s find the right fit.

What makes this neighbourhood worth paying attention to from a market standpoint is its range. You’ve got condos starting around $150,000 alongside detached homes that push past $900,000. That kind of spread is unusual for a single neighbourhood, and it means University Park attracts everyone from first-time buyers to families who’ve been in the housing market for 20 years. Add in walking distance to the University of Regina and the edge of Wascana Centre’s 2,300 acres of parkland, and you’ve got a location that consistently holds appeal across different stages of life.

What Homes Cost Right Now

The price range in University Park is genuinely wide, so let’s break it down by what you’re actually looking at.

Condos and smaller units start around $150,000 to $220,000. There’s currently a condo listed at $149,900 and another at $219,000, which tells you this is one of the most accessible entry points in all of East Regina. For context, Regina’s citywide average sale price is sitting at about $346,000, so these condos come in at less than half the city average. That’s significant.

Single-family detached homes are a different conversation. The benchmark price for a detached home in University Park runs in the mid-$300,000s to mid-$400,000s for typical bungalows and split-levels. Homes with updates, larger lots, or premium positions can push well past that. Right now, active listings for detached homes range from $615,000 up to $997,900, which reflects the upper end of what’s currently on the market. The residential benchmark for the broader area sat at $361,000 as of late 2024, with a 3.5% year-over-year increase.

About 80% of people in University Park own their homes, and 20% rent. That high ownership rate contributes to the stability you feel in the neighbourhood. People take care of what they own.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina’s average residential sale price climbed 6% between 2024 and 2025, going from $326,000 to $346,000 across all property types. Looking ahead, RE/MAX is forecasting about 2% growth into 2026, while Royal LePage is projecting a 4% aggregate increase, which would bring the citywide aggregate toward $410,000 by Q4 2026. The median single-family detached price across Regina is expected to rise about 4.5% to $456,000, and condos are forecast to increase roughly 2.5% to around $230,000.

University Park benefits from a dynamic that’s hard to manufacture: it’s already built out with no new lots being developed. When there’s no fresh construction adding supply, existing homes hold their value more consistently. This isn’t a neighbourhood with phases still being released. What’s here is what’s here, and that scarcity of new inventory pushes gradual appreciation.

Inventory across Regina dropped about 2% year over year while demand stayed strong, especially from first-time buyers in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. That’s exactly the bracket where most of University Park’s single-family homes sit. The academic community around the University of Regina also provides a steady pool of buyers and renters who value the neighbourhood’s proximity, keeping turnover low and demand consistent.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

University Park is what you’d call a “high retention” neighbourhood. People move in and stay. That’s good for community stability, but it means inventory is almost always low. When homes do list, they tend to move relatively fast because there’s usually built-up demand from people who’ve been watching and waiting.

Regina citywide is averaging about 29 to 32 days on market right now. In established East Regina neighbourhoods like this, well-priced homes often sell at or slightly faster than that citywide pace. The limited number of listings at any given time, there are currently only about 4 to 6 active in the broader University Park area, means buyers don’t have much to compare against, which tends to keep things moving.

If you’re a seller here, low inventory is your friend. If you’re a buyer, you need to be ready to act when the right property shows up.

What You Get at Different Price Points

This is where University Park’s range really shows.

Under $225,000: You’re looking at condos and apartment-style units. These are straightforward, functional spaces that work well for students, young professionals, first-time buyers, or investors looking for rental income near the university. You won’t get a big yard or a garage, but you’ll get a solid roof in a mature neighbourhood at a price point that’s hard to find elsewhere in East Regina. Current listings include units at $149,900 and $219,000. At these prices, you’re paying less per month on a mortgage than many people pay in rent.

$350,000 to $550,000: This is the core of the single-family market here. You’re getting 3- to 4-bedroom bungalows, split-levels, and bi-levels on generous lots with mature landscaping. Many of these homes are the original 1980s builds with some updates over the years. Expect attached garages, decent-sized backyards, and the kind of internal pathway access that means your kids can walk to Wilfred Hunt School or St. Dominic Savio without crossing a major road. Some homes in this range will need kitchen or bathroom refreshes, but the bones are solid. This bracket is where university staff, young families, and downsizers from larger homes all overlap.

$600,000 and above: You’re into the premium detached homes. Current listings include properties at $615,000, $649,900, $824,900, and $997,900. At this level, you’re seeing 2,200 to 3,300+ square feet, 5 or 6 bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, finished basements, and significant renovations. The $997,900 home on Westminster Road includes an indoor pool, for example. These properties sit on larger lots, often backing onto park space, and they’ve had serious investment put into upgrades. This price point appeals to established families who want the University Park location and are willing to pay for a home that doesn’t need work.

Is It a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?

Regina is sitting in seller’s market territory right now. Months of supply citywide are at about 2.88, and anything under 4 months generally favours sellers. Strong demand from first-time buyers, move-up purchasers, and investors, combined with limited housing inventory, is keeping conditions competitive across the city.

In University Park specifically, the seller’s advantage is amplified by chronic low inventory. Only a handful of homes are listed at any given time, and the neighbourhood’s built-out status means no new supply is coming. If you’re selling a well-maintained home here, especially in the $350,000 to $550,000 range where buyer demand is strongest, you’re in a solid position.

For buyers, the honest reality is that patience matters. You might not see the exact home you want right away. But when you do find it, lower interest rates heading into 2026 should make financing more accessible than it’s been in the past couple of years.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you’re buying, get familiar with the difference between the original University Park section (west of University Park Drive) and University Park East. The homes, schools, and pricing can differ between the two. A good home inspection is essential on 1980s builds. Look at the furnace, the roof, and the windows. Many homes have had these replaced, but some haven’t.

If you’re selling, understand that your buyer pool includes university staff, families who want the school catchment, and people drawn to Wascana Centre’s pathway access. Price your home honestly against recent comparable sales, not against your emotional attachment to it. In a low-inventory neighbourhood, overpricing still costs you time and interest.

Finding Your Place in University Park

University Park works because it was built with intention and it’s been maintained by people who care about where they live. It’s not the flashiest neighbourhood in Regina, and it doesn’t need to be. If you’re looking for mature trees, quiet streets, walkable schools, and proximity to both the university and Wascana Centre, this neighbourhood delivers all of that at a price range that fits a lot of different budgets.

Browse the latest University Park listings to see what’s available right now, or explore the full East Regina area to compare neighbourhoods. If you’re curious how University Park stacks up against Wascana View to the south or Wood Meadows nearby, I’m happy to walk you through the differences. Reach out anytime and we’ll talk through what makes sense for your situation.

What Homes Cost Right Now

The average sale price in Wood Meadows sits around $279,900 to $295,000, depending on the home type and condition. That's well below Regina's citywide benchmark of roughly $331,000, which makes this one of the more affordable detached-home neighbourhoods in the east end.

Most of the housing stock is single-family — three-level splits, four-level splits, and bi-levels are the dominant styles. You'll also find bungalow-style condos and a handful of townhouses, with condos starting as low as the $170,000s and detached bungalow condos around $290,000. On a per-square-foot basis, you're looking at roughly $258-$262, compared to $274 citywide. That gap means you're getting more space for your dollar here than in newer builds like The Towns or the Greens on Gardiner.

What drives the lower price point isn't a lack of quality — it's the age of the homes. These are 1980s builds, which means they're solid but they're not brand new. Buyers who understand that distinction tend to do well here.

How Prices Have Changed

Wood Meadows has been appreciating at around 5% year-over-year, which tracks with the broader Regina trend. Citywide, the average residential sale price rose 6% between 2024 and 2025, landing at $346,000. Regina's benchmark price hit $330,900 by December 2025, up nearly 7% from the year before. RE/MAX is forecasting another 2% increase heading into 2026, and Royal LePage is predicting 4% growth across all categories.

For Wood Meadows specifically, that steady climb has been good news for long-time homeowners. A home that sold for $220,000-$240,000 a decade ago is now worth $280,000-$295,000 — nothing flashy, but consistent. That's the kind of appreciation that builds real equity over time without the volatility you see in hotter markets.

Saskatchewan was called the hottest housing market in the country by TD Economics heading into 2026, driven by population growth and job creation. That broader momentum is filtering down to established neighbourhoods like Wood Meadows, where low inventory and steady demand keep prices moving in the right direction. It's not a neighbourhood where you'll see dramatic spikes, but it's also not one where you'll worry about values dropping.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

Homes in Wood Meadows typically sit on the market for 48-59 days, which is a bit longer than the citywide average of around 29-32 days. That's partly because the buyer pool here skews toward first-time purchasers who take a bit more time with their decisions, and partly because the price point means there's less urgency-driven competition than you'd see in the $400,000+ range.

That said, Regina entered 2026 with just 349 active listings across the entire city — roughly half of what you'd see in a balanced market. Inventory is tight everywhere, and Wood Meadows is no exception. When a well-maintained home comes up at the right price, it doesn't sit for two months. The homes that linger tend to be the ones that need work and are priced as though they don't.

What You Get at Different Price Points

Under $200,000: At this price, you're looking at condo units — typically apartment-style condos in the complexes along Heseltine Road. These are two- to three-bedroom units with condo fees that cover heat, water, snow removal, and lawn care. They're a solid entry point for someone who wants to stop renting and start building equity. Pet-friendly buildings with amenities like tennis courts and playgrounds make them practical for young families or singles.

$250,000-$300,000: This is the heart of Wood Meadows. You're getting a three- or four-bedroom split-level or bi-level on a decent-sized lot with mature trees and an established yard. The kitchen and bathrooms are likely original — think oak cabinets, laminate countertops, and maybe some dated wallpaper. But the structure's sound, the lot's generous, and there's room to make it your own over time. Bungalow-style detached condos also fall in this range, offering single-level living with a finished basement and minimal yard work.

$300,000-$370,000: Here you're getting into the updated homes — bi-levels and splits where the owners have put money into modern kitchens, newer flooring, or finished basements. Lot sizes are larger, garages are double or triple, and the overall condition is move-in ready. A recently listed bi-level at $369,900 on Helmsing Street, for example, offered three bedrooms, updated bathrooms with quartz countertops, and a fully finished lower level. This is the price range where you get the best of both worlds: 1980s lot sizes with modern finishes.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Regina is firmly in seller's market territory heading into 2026. Inventory is sitting at about two months of supply — well below the three-to-five months you'd need for a balanced market. Across the city, December marked the 29th straight month of increased sales. Multiple-offer situations are still happening, and buyers were paying above asking price for six straight months through the summer of 2025.

In Wood Meadows, the dynamics are a touch softer than the city as a whole because of the price point and the buyer demographic. First-time buyers are more cautious, and the homes here don't always trigger the same bidding wars you'd see in higher-demand neighbourhoods. But sellers still have the advantage. If your home's priced right and shows well, you're not going to struggle to find a buyer.

For buyers, the key is preparation. Get your financing sorted out before you start looking. In a market with this little inventory, the best homes don't wait around for you to figure out your budget.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying, don't overlook the walkability factor. Being able to walk to Safeway, GoodLife Fitness, and the library is something you won't find in most suburban neighbourhoods, and it's genuinely worth paying attention to. Also, check the basement carefully — 1980s bi-levels and splits are known for bright, usable lower levels, but you'll want to confirm there are no moisture issues after forty years.

If you're selling, small updates go a long way. Fresh paint, updated light fixtures, and modern hardware can shift your home from the $260,000 range into the $290,000s without a full renovation. Buyers in this price range are often stretching their budget, so anything that makes a home feel move-in ready helps it sell faster.

Finding Your Place in Wood Meadows

Wood Meadows isn't the flashiest neighbourhood in East Regina, but it might be the smartest buy. You're getting solid 1980s construction, bigger lots, mature landscaping, and walkable access to shopping — all at a price point that's roughly $50,000 below the city average. For first-time buyers especially, that's a combination worth taking seriously. If you'd like to see what's currently available, browse the latest Wood Meadows listings, or check out nearby Parkridge and Eastbrook for comparison. And if you want to explore the broader East Regina market, I'm happy to walk you through what makes sense for your situation. Reach out anytime — no pressure, just honest answers.

What Homes Cost Right Now

Condos are the main option in Riverbend, and they typically range from about $150,000 to $250,000. That's noticeably lower than Regina's citywide condo median of $227,000, though prices here can reach that benchmark depending on size and condition. You'll also find some townhomes in the neighbourhood, usually priced between $200,000 and $300,000. These give you a bit more space and sometimes a small yard, but they don't come up for sale very often.

With only two listings available right now, you don't have much room to be picky. Both are condos, and if neither one fits what you need, you're waiting until something else hits the market. That's been the pattern here for a while. Inventory stays tight because turnover is low. When something does come up, it tends to move quickly, especially if it's priced fairly and doesn't need major work.

If you're comparing Riverbend to other East Regina neighbourhoods, you'll see similar price ranges in places like Spruce Meadows and parts of Gardiner Heights, though those areas have more variety in housing types. Riverbend's condo focus keeps things affordable, which is part of why it's popular with first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors.

How Prices Have Changed

Riverbend hasn't seen the same price jumps as some of Regina's single-family neighbourhoods, but that doesn't mean values haven't moved. Across Regina, the average home price is up about 6% from 2024, sitting at $346,000 now. The benchmark price is $335,100, up 4.4% year-over-year. Condos citywide have seen more modest gains, but they've still appreciated.

In Riverbend specifically, prices have stayed relatively stable because the housing stock doesn't change much. You're not seeing new developments or major renovations that push values up quickly. What you are seeing is steady demand from buyers who want affordable options in East Regina. That demand keeps prices from dropping, but the condo market in general doesn't spike the way detached homes do.

Looking ahead, forecasts suggest about 2% price growth across Regina in 2026. For Riverbend, that probably means you won't see dramatic increases, but you also won't see values slide. If you're buying here as an investment, the rental income potential is strong. You're close to commercial and retail along Victoria Avenue East, which means renters who work in the area or want easy access to shopping and services. If you're buying to live here, you're getting into a neighbourhood where your home value should hold steady without requiring a huge upfront investment.

The other thing to remember is that Riverbend isn't competing with luxury markets. You're not trying to keep up with Wascana View or University Park prices. You're in a practical, middle-income neighbourhood where affordability is part of the appeal.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

With only two active listings in the whole neighbourhood, you can guess that homes don't sit around for long when they're priced right. Citywide, Regina's average days on market is between 29 and 32 days, but in Riverbend, condos that are move-in ready and priced fairly can go even faster. When inventory is this tight, buyers don't have the luxury of waiting around to see what else comes up.

That said, if a listing is overpriced or needs significant repairs, it can linger. Buyers in this price range are often working with tight budgets, and they can't take on big renovation projects or pay more than market value just to get into the neighbourhood. If you're selling here, pricing accurately from the start is the best way to avoid sitting on the market.

For buyers, the low inventory means you need to be ready to move when something comes up. If you're trying to find the right home in Riverbend, it helps to have your financing sorted and your must-haves clearly defined. You won't have time to think it over for weeks when there are only two listings to choose from.

What You Get at Different Price Points

At the lower end of Riverbend's range — around $150,000 to $180,000 — you're looking at smaller condos, often one or two bedrooms. These are usually in older buildings, maybe from the mid-1990s, and they might need some updating. Kitchens and bathrooms from that era don't always hold up, so you'll want to budget for cosmetic work if you're planning to make it your own. These units work well for first-time buyers who want to get into the market without taking on a huge mortgage, or for investors who can rent them out and cover the mortgage with rental income.

In the $180,000 to $220,000 range, you'll find larger two-bedroom condos or smaller three-bedroom units. These tend to be in better condition, sometimes with updated flooring, appliances, or paint. You might also see some townhomes at the higher end of this range, which give you more space and sometimes a small outdoor area. These are popular with young families who want more room but aren't ready to jump into a detached home.

At the top of the range — $220,000 to $250,000 — you're getting newer condos or well-maintained townhomes with modern finishes. These might have in-suite laundry, updated kitchens with stainless appliances, and better insulation and windows that keep your utility bills down. If you're downsizing from a larger home, this is often the sweet spot where you get comfort and convenience without paying for more space than you need.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Riverbend is very much a seller's market right now. With only two active listings and steady demand, sellers have the advantage. Citywide, Regina has 2.88 months of supply, which is well below the six months that would indicate a balanced market. In Riverbend, the supply is even tighter.

If you're selling, that means you can expect offers quickly if you price your home correctly. You might even see multiple offers if your unit is in good shape and priced competitively. But don't let the low inventory make you think you can overprice. Buyers in this range are budget-conscious, and they'll walk away if the numbers don't make sense.

If you're buying, you're working in a competitive environment. You don't have a lot of options, and you can't afford to wait too long if something fits your needs. That doesn't mean you should panic and offer over asking on the first place you see, but it does mean you need to be decisive and realistic about what's available.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying in Riverbend, make sure you understand condo fees and what they cover. Some buildings include utilities, maintenance, and snow removal, while others don't. That monthly fee can make a big difference in your overall housing costs, so factor it in when you're comparing listings.

If you're selling, focus on making your unit show well without overspending on renovations. Fresh paint, clean floors, and good photos go a long way in this market. Price it right, and you'll likely have offers within a few weeks.

Finding Your Place in Riverbend

Riverbend isn't a flashy neighbourhood, and that's part of its appeal. You're getting affordable housing in a safe, practical area with good access to amenities. Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing, or looking for rental income, the numbers here make sense. If you want to see what's currently available or talk through whether buying in East Regina fits your goals, I'm happy to walk you through it. I've worked with buyers and sellers in this neighbourhood before, and I can help you figure out if Riverbend is the right move for you.

If you're looking at Glencairn right now, you're probably noticing something: it's one of those neighbourhoods where prices make sense, and homes don't sit around forever. The numbers I'm seeing put the median new listing price around $305,000, with active listings hovering closer to $296,000. That's solidly mid-range for Regina—Glencairn ranks 62nd out of 119 neighbourhoods for price—but what you're really getting is an established community that's been here since the mid-1960s, with tree-lined streets, actual parks your kids will use, and bungalows that don't need you to take out a second mortgage.

The market here isn't flashy. It's steady. Homes are moving in about 30 days, which tells me buyers aren't hesitating when they find what they want. And with Regina's overall market sitting at 2.88 months of supply, Glencairn is right in that seller-friendly zone where good homes get attention quickly. Let's break down what you need to know about prices, trends, and what your money actually gets you here in 2026.

What Homes Cost Right Now

The average home price in Glencairn is sitting at $300,750 according to HonestDoor's latest data, and that's up about 1% from last month. When I look at what's actively listed right now, I'm seeing a range that starts at $125,000 for a condo and stretches up to $400,000 for a four-bedroom house. But here's the thing—most of what you'll find falls somewhere between $237,000 and $350,000, and that's predominantly bungalows.

About 75% of the housing stock here is bungalows, with the rest being bi-levels and split-levels. The average house size is around 1,000 square feet, and you're paying roughly $248 per square foot when a home sells. That's important because it means you're not paying the premium you'd see in newer developments or trendier pockets of the city. You're getting established construction, mature trees, and a neighbourhood that's already figured out what it is.

If you're comparing Glencairn to the rest of East Regina, you'll notice it's more affordable than some of the newer builds in places like Spruce Meadows, but it's got more character and green space than you'd find in some of the industrial-adjacent areas. The median active listing at $296,000 is below Regina's citywide average of $346,000, which gives you some breathing room if you're working with a tighter budget.

How Prices Have Changed

Regina's overall market is up about 6% from 2024, with the benchmark price at $335,100—that's a 4.4% year-over-year increase. Glencairn's been climbing too, though not at a pace that feels out of control. That 1% month-over-month bump I mentioned earlier is pretty typical for established neighbourhoods that aren't seeing massive redevelopment or sudden shifts in demand.

What I've noticed over the past year is that Glencairn's held steady while some of the outer-edge neighbourhoods have seen more volatility. When the market's hot, people look for value, and Glencairn delivers that without feeling like a compromise. You're not buying a fixer-upper in the middle of nowhere—you're buying into a neighbourhood that's walkable, has amenities, and doesn't require you to drive 20 minutes to get groceries.

The forecast for Regina in 2026 is a modest 2% price increase, and I'd expect Glencairn to track pretty close to that. It's not the kind of place where prices spike suddenly, but it's also not losing value. If you bought here five years ago, you've seen appreciation. If you buy now, you're probably going to see the same slow, steady climb. That's not sexy, but it's reliable, and reliability matters when you're talking about the biggest purchase most people make.

One thing worth noting: the rental market here is strong too. Average rental estimates are sitting at $1,613 a month, which means if you're buying as an investment, the numbers can work. But honestly, most people buying in Glencairn are planning to live here, not flip it.

How Fast Homes Sell Here

The median days on market in Glencairn right now is 30 days. That's right in line with Regina's citywide average of 29 to 32 days, which tells me this neighbourhood moves at the same pace as the rest of the city—maybe a touch slower if the home's overpriced, but not by much.

What that means for you as a buyer is that you can't afford to wait three weeks to make a decision. If you see something you like, you need to move. I've had clients lose out on homes here because they wanted to sleep on it for a week, and by the time they circled back, someone else had already put in an offer. With only six active listings right now, inventory's tight, and buyers are paying attention.

For sellers, it's good news. You're not going to list your home and watch it sit for months. If it's priced right and shows well, you'll see activity within the first couple of weeks. But "priced right" is the key phrase there—if you're trying to squeeze an extra $50,000 out of a 1,000-square-foot bungalow, you'll sit. The market here rewards realism.

What You Get at Different Price Points

Let's talk about what your money actually buys you in Glencairn, because the range is wider than you might think.

At the lower end—around $125,000 to $150,000—you're looking at condos or smaller units. These aren't common in Glencairn since it's predominantly single-family homes, but if you find one, it's usually a solid starter option or a downsize for someone who doesn't need the yard anymore.

In the $237,000 to $290,000 range, you're getting three-bedroom bungalows that need a bit of updating but are move-in ready. These are the homes that attract first-time buyers or young families who want space without the brand-new price tag. You'll probably need to update the kitchen or bathrooms at some point, but the bones are solid, and you're not dealing with major structural issues.

Between $305,000 and $350,000, you're looking at well-maintained three-bedroom homes with updated kitchens, newer windows, and finished basements. Some of these have been renovated in the last 10 years, and they show like it. This is the sweet spot for families who want move-in ready but don't want to pay the premium for new construction.

At the top end—$350,000 to $400,000—you're getting four-bedroom homes with more square footage, better finishes, and sometimes double garages. These are the homes that have been lovingly maintained or recently renovated, and they're priced to reflect that. You're still paying less than you would for a comparable home in Gardiner Heights, but you're getting similar quality.

Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Right now, it's a seller's market in Regina, and Glencairn's no exception. With 2.88 months of supply citywide and only six active listings in Glencairn, sellers have the advantage. Homes that are priced fairly and show well are getting offers quickly, and in some cases, buyers are competing.

That doesn't mean sellers can name their price and expect buyers to line up—overpriced homes still sit, and buyers here are savvy. They know what a bungalow should cost, and they're not going to overpay just because inventory's tight. But if you're selling and you work with someone who knows how to price and market your home, you're in a good position.

For buyers, it's a bit tougher. You need to be ready to move when you find the right home, and you need to be realistic about what you can get for your budget. If you're hoping to find a fully renovated four-bedroom bungalow for $250,000, you're going to be disappointed. But if you're willing to do some updates yourself, or if you're flexible on finishes, there's value here.

What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here

If you're buying in Glencairn, understand that you're buying into an established neighbourhood. The infrastructure's mature, the schools are settled, and the community's been here for decades. That's a good thing, but it also means you're not getting cutting-edge architecture or the latest design trends. You're getting solid, functional homes that have stood the test of time.

If you're selling, price matters more than anything. Buyers here know the market, and they're comparing your home to everything else that's listed. Get a proper valuation, make sure your home shows well, and don't get greedy. The homes that sell quickly are the ones that are priced right from day one.

Ready to Make a Move in Glencairn?

Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, or selling to move closer to work, Glencairn's got a lot going for it in 2026.
