If you're thinking about selling your home in Regina, I've got some good news for you. The market conditions heading into 2026 are actually pretty favorable for sellers. But I know the whole process can feel overwhelming, especially if it's been a while since you bought or sold a property.
So let me walk you through everything you need to know about selling your home in Regina—from understanding what the market looks like right now, to figuring out what your home is worth, to what you'll actually pay in closing costs when everything's said and done.
I've been helping families buy and sell homes in Regina for years, and I've learned that the best thing I can do is give you honest information so you can make your own educated decision. That's what this guide is all about.
Regina's 2026 Seller's Market: What You Need to Know
Here's the honest truth about Regina's real estate market right now: it's a seller's market, and it has been for a while.
What does that actually mean? In real estate, we look at something called "months of supply." This measures how long it would take to sell every home currently on the market if no new listings came up. A balanced market—where buyers and sellers have roughly equal negotiating power—sits around 4 to 6 months of supply.
Regina is currently sitting at about 2.9 months of supply. That's well below the balanced range, which means there are more buyers looking than there are homes available.
Here's what the numbers look like heading into 2026:
- Benchmark price: $330,900 (as of December 2025)
- Price growth: Up about 7% compared to last year
- Active listings: Only 349 homes—that's roughly 50% below the 10-year average
- Days on market: Most homes are selling in 31-42 days
- 2025 sales: We saw 3,840 homes sell in Regina, which was just 2% below the record-setting 2024
What does this mean for you as a seller? Well-priced homes in good condition are getting strong interest. Multiple offers aren't uncommon for properties that show well and are priced right. You're not going to have to sit on the market for months hoping someone comes along.
That said, I want to be clear: a seller's market doesn't mean you can slap any price on your home and expect buyers to line up. Buyers in Regina are still doing their research. They know what comparable homes have sold for, and they're not going to overpay just because inventory is tight. The homes that sell fast and for good prices are the ones that are realistically priced and well-presented from day one.

What's Your Regina Home Worth?
This is usually the first question people ask me, and honestly, it's the most important one. Getting the price right from the start makes everything else easier.
Online Estimates vs. Professional Valuations
You've probably already looked up your address on those online home value sites. I get it—they're quick and easy. But here's the thing: those algorithms don't know that you updated your kitchen three years ago, or that your basement has water issues, or that your street has become noisier since the new development went in.
Online estimates can give you a rough ballpark, but they're often off by 5-10% or more in either direction. When you're talking about a $300,000+ home, that's a difference of $15,000 to $30,000.
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) looks at recent sales of similar homes in your specific area—same neighborhood, similar size, similar condition. It takes into account the features that actually affect what buyers will pay.
What Affects Your Regina Home's Value:
- Location and neighborhood: Some Regina neighborhoods are seeing stronger demand than others
- Size and layout: Total square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Condition: Updated kitchens and bathrooms add value; deferred maintenance subtracts it
- Age and features: Character homes have their appeal, but buyers also factor in potential issues like knob-and-tube wiring or older foundations
- Lot size: Especially important if you're in a neighborhood where lot sizes vary significantly
- Recent comparable sales: What similar homes nearby actually sold for (not what they listed for)
I always tell people: the market determines your home's value, not what you paid for it or what you think it should be worth. I know that can be hard to hear sometimes, but starting with realistic expectations makes the whole process smoother.

Best Time to Sell in Regina
People ask me all the time: "When should I list my home?" The answer depends on your situation, but here's what the data actually shows.
Spring is Peak Season (April-June)
Spring consistently sees the highest buyer activity in Regina. Families want to get settled before the next school year starts. The weather makes homes look their best—yards are green, gardens are blooming, and you don't have buyers trudging through snow to view your property.
During spring 2025, homes in Regina were selling faster and often receiving stronger offers than other times of the year. If you have flexibility on timing, spring gives you the best chance of attracting multiple interested buyers.
Summer Stays Active (July-September)
July and August are still solid months to sell. Yes, some buyers take vacations, but the ones who are looking tend to be serious. Families are still motivated to move before school starts. And with Regina's current low inventory, there's less competition from other sellers than you might expect.
Fall and Winter: Different, Not Necessarily Worse
Here's something a lot of sellers don't realize: while buyer activity drops in fall and winter, so does seller competition. The buyers who are looking in November or January tend to be highly motivated—they need to buy for job relocations, year-end financial reasons, or other real deadlines.
I've helped plenty of sellers get strong offers in winter because their home was one of only a few options available. It's not the conventional wisdom, but it works for some people.
The Best Day to List
Research shows that listing your home on a Thursday tends to get the best results. It puts your property in front of buyers right as they're planning their weekend house-hunting. A Thursday listing followed by a Saturday open house and Monday offer review is a strategy that works well in Regina's market.

Preparing Your Home for Sale
This is where I see sellers either help themselves or hurt themselves. Some spend money on the wrong things. Others skip obvious fixes that would've made a difference.
What to Actually Fix
Focus on things that will put buyers off or show up on a home inspection:
- Obvious maintenance issues: Leaky faucets, doors that don't close properly, broken light switches, peeling paint
- Roof and exterior concerns: If your roof is in rough shape or your siding has damage, buyers will notice and factor it into their offers
- Major systems: If your furnace is 25 years old or your hot water tank is on its last legs, consider whether replacing them makes sense. At minimum, be prepared for buyers to ask about them.
What You Can Probably Skip
- Full kitchen or bathroom renovations right before selling—you rarely get that money back dollar for dollar
- Trendy upgrades that match your taste but might not appeal to buyers
- Expensive landscaping projects that won't show well in winter anyway
Decluttering and Staging
I can't stress this enough: a clean, decluttered home shows so much better than one stuffed with personal items. Buyers want to picture themselves living there, not look at your family photos and collections.
You don't need to hire a professional stager, though some sellers do. At minimum: clear off countertops, organize closets (buyers will look inside), and remove excess furniture that makes rooms feel cramped.
Curb Appeal in Saskatchewan
Let's be honest—our winters are long, and curb appeal isn't always easy to maintain. But do what you can:
- Keep the driveway and walkways shoveled and ice-free during showings
- Make sure exterior lighting works
- If you're listing in warmer months, keep the lawn maintained and add some simple plants near the entrance
- Clean the windows—it makes a bigger difference than you'd think
Professional Photography
This is not the place to cut corners. The vast majority of buyers start their search online, and your listing photos are their first impression. A few hundred dollars for professional photography can mean the difference between buyers scrolling past or clicking to schedule a showing.

Pricing Your Home Right
I've seen sellers make this mistake more times than I can count: they overprice their home, hoping to "leave room for negotiation."
Here's what actually happens. The home sits on the market. Buyers who are looking in that price range see it and dismiss it because it doesn't compare favorably to other options at that price. Then, after a few weeks, the seller drops the price. Now buyers wonder what's wrong with it—why has it been sitting so long?
You end up in a worse position than if you'd priced it correctly from the start.
How a CMA Works
A Comparative Market Analysis looks at:
- Homes similar to yours that sold in the last 3-6 months
- Homes currently on the market (your competition)
- Homes that listed but didn't sell (what price points aren't working)
This gives you a realistic range for where your home should be priced. Notice I said "realistic"—not what you want to hear, but what the market is actually telling us.
The Multiple-Offer Strategy
In Regina's current market, some sellers are pricing slightly below market value to generate multiple offers. This works when done correctly—it creates urgency among buyers and can result in a sale price above the list price. But it requires honest assessment of your home's value and confidence in the current demand for properties like yours.

Marketing and Showing Your Home
Once you're listed, the goal is getting as many qualified buyers through your door as possible.
Online Presence
Your home will be on realtor.ca, the RE/MAX website, and syndicated to other major real estate portals. The listing should include:
- Professional photos (we talked about this)
- Accurate square footage and room counts
- Clear description of features without the fluff
- Information about the neighborhood
Open Houses
Open houses still work in Regina. They let buyers see your home without committing to a private showing, and they create a sense of activity and interest. The Thursday-list, Saturday-open-house strategy I mentioned earlier is effective because it bundles interest into a short timeframe.
Private Showings
Be prepared to make your home available for showings, sometimes on short notice. The easier you make it for buyers to see your property, the faster you'll get offers.

The Selling Process Timeline
Here's what to expect once you decide to sell:
Before Listing (1-2 weeks)
- Get your CMA and set your price
- Make any necessary repairs and declutter
- Have professional photos taken
- Sign the listing agreement
On the Market (Average 31-42 days in Regina)
- Your home goes live
- Showings and open houses happen
- You receive and review offers
Under Contract (30-45 days typically)
- Accept an offer
- Buyer completes their home inspection and financing conditions
- Work through any negotiations based on inspection findings
- Prepare for closing
Closing Day
- Sign the final paperwork with your lawyer
- Hand over the keys
- Receive your proceeds
In total, from deciding to sell to walking away with your money, you're looking at roughly 2-3 months in the current market. Of course, every situation is different—some homes sell faster, some take longer, and the closing timeline depends on what works for both parties.
Costs of Selling in Regina
Let's talk about what it actually costs to sell your home in Saskatchewan. This is important because it directly affects how much you'll walk away with.
Real Estate Commission
Saskatchewan typically uses a tiered commission structure:
- 6% on the first $100,000
- 4% on the next $100,000
- 2% on anything above $200,000
For a $330,000 home (roughly Regina's current benchmark), that works out to about $12,600 in total commission, which is split between your agent and the buyer's agent.
I'll be honest—commission rates are negotiable. Some agents charge flat rates, some discount brokerages charge less. But keep in mind that marketing, negotiation, and local expertise all matter. The cheapest option isn't always the best value.
Legal Fees
You'll need a lawyer to handle the closing. For sellers, legal fees typically run $600 to $1,000 plus tax. Your lawyer handles the title transfer, mortgage discharge paperwork, and statement of adjustments.
Land Title Fee
Saskatchewan charges about 0.3% of the property value to register the title transfer. On a $330,000 home, that's roughly $990.
Mortgage Discharge
If you still have a mortgage, there's typically a $160-$400 fee to discharge it. If you have a fixed-rate mortgage and you're breaking it early, you might also face a prepayment penalty—check with your lender on this one.
Property Tax Adjustments
Your lawyer will calculate any property tax adjustments based on when during the year you're closing and whether taxes have been paid.
The Good News: No Land Transfer Tax
Unlike Ontario and some other provinces, Saskatchewan doesn't charge land transfer tax. That's one less major cost to worry about.
Total Closing Costs
For most Regina sellers, total closing costs run roughly 4-5% of the sale price. On a $330,000 home, budget for approximately $13,000-$16,000 in total costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Regina
How long does it take to sell a house in Regina?
In the current market, the average is 31-42 days from listing to accepted offer. Add another 30-45 days for the closing process, so you're typically looking at 2-3 months total from listing to keys handover. Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods often sell faster.
What are closing costs when selling a house in Saskatchewan?
For sellers, expect to pay approximately 4-5% of the sale price in total costs. This includes real estate commission, legal fees ($600-1,000), land title fee (0.3% of sale price), and mortgage discharge fees if applicable. Saskatchewan does not charge land transfer tax, which helps.
What's the best month to sell a house in Regina?
Spring (April-June) consistently sees the highest buyer activity and typically results in faster sales and stronger offers. However, Regina's current low inventory means homes are selling reasonably well year-round. If you need to sell in fall or winter, you'll have less competition from other sellers.
Should I sell or rent my Regina home?
This depends on your specific situation. Regina does have a solid rental market with low vacancy rates, so renting is viable. But in a seller's market with prices rising, selling now captures your current equity gains. I'd be happy to walk you through both scenarios and help you figure out what makes sense for your situation.
How much is my Regina home worth?
Your home's value depends on location, size, condition, and what comparable homes have recently sold for. Online estimates can give you a rough idea, but for an accurate assessment, a professional Comparative Market Analysis is the way to go. I'm happy to provide one at no cost if you're curious.
