How to find the best mortgage rates in Saskatchewan.
While the Bank of Canada may still be in rate-raising mode, consumers would be wise to shop around for the best Saskatchewan mortgage rates possible.
- Usings sites like RATESDOTCA is a great first start as it provides up-to-date comparisons and can connect you to a brokerage at the click of a button.
- Talk to your real estate agent about options that suit your specific needs and financing.
- Speak to your current bank or lender if you have one to see how they can assist you and if they will offer the best mortgage rates in Manitoba.
- In general, the better your credit, the more likely you will find the best mortgage rates in Manitoba. So, do what you can to improve your credit score by paying off credit card balances and other personal debts, to the extent you can.
- The interest rate is important, but there’s more to compare. Is there a prepayment penalty if you decide to refinance at some point? What are the total closing costs? Closing costs generally amount to 2% to 5% of the price of the home. If your home costs $150,000, expect to pay $3,000 to $7,500 in costs. That’s a big range, so it it would be wise of you to see what a lender typically charges.
How mortgages in Saskatchewan are regulated
Mortgage regulation in Saskatchewan is handled at the provincial level and overseen by The Mortgage Brokerages and Mortgage Administrators Act (MBMA Act).
The MBMA Act and Regulations came into force on October 1, 2010. The MBMA Act and the MBMA Regulations provide the legislative framework for the regulation of mortgage brokerages, brokers, associates and mortgage administrators in Saskatchewan.

- Negotiates or arranges a mortgage loan or an investment in a mortgage on behalf of another person;
- Provides advice to a person with respect to the appropriateness of obtaining a particular mortgage loan; or, making a particular investment in a mortgage.
- A broker is an individual who brokers mortgages on behalf of a mortgage brokerage and has the education and experience necessary to supervise an associate.
- A mortgage associate is an individual who brokers mortgages on behalf of a mortgage brokerage.
- A mortgage administrator is a corporation that:
- Receives payments made by a borrower and remits those payments to the investor; or
- Monitors the performance of a borrower with respect to his or her obligations under the mortgage

Over the past 10 years, Saskatchewan homeowners have been the worst in Canada when it comes to paying mortgages on time, according to the Canadian Bankers Association.
In mid-year 2019, the province's arrears rate stood at 0.86%, the highest in the nation. CBA noted that this totalled 1,118 mortgages in arrears for three or more months out of the 130,106 extant mortgages in Saskatchewan at the time.
To compare, the national average arrears rate in that period was 0.23%. The rate was just 0.14% in BC, 0.35% in Manitoba, and 0.5% in Alberta.
Consumer demographics (younger buyers) and sustained low-interest rates in the years after the 2008-09 financial crisis, were major drivers of the phenomenon.
Saskatchewan housing market
It won’t surprise anyone to hear that year-over-year residential sales in Saskatchewan have declined. Recent interest rate hikes and spikes in inflation have caused the slow down. Year-over-year sales were down 9.2% and year-to-date they are down 9.7%.
Still, the 10-year average spread remains in positive territory with an average increase of 4.2% and year-to-date an increase of 22.4%.
New listings have remained in a down cycle both in the short-term and longer term. Listings are down to 2,494 – a decrease of 1.7% year-over-year and 8.2% year-to-date. Over a 10-year cycle the average has been a decline of 9.0% and 9.2% year-to-date.
Relatively tight conditions are supporting further price gains in the province at a time when many cities in Canada are seeing some retraction of prices. In July, the benchmark price reached $335,100, slightly higher than the previous month and over five per cent higher than levels recorded in July 2021.
Tips for first time homebuyers in Saskatchewan
First time homebuyers likely have questions given their inexperience and the complicated ins-and-outs of purchasing a home. First time homebuyers may want to consider the following tips:
- Budget: Figure out what you can comfortably afford before you look at too many “out-of-reach" options.
- Pay off debt: Deal with existing debt. If you have debts that can be paid off or paid down, look at those first to shore up your credit rating.
- Down payment: Before purchasing that first home, try to save up as much as possible for a down payment. The more you can provide, the less of a risk you are, which banks look favourably on.
- Take advantage: Use the First Time Homebuyers’ Tax Credit.
- Look at your needs today: That first home may be your forever home or it may be a starter home. Consider what your future housing needs are likely to be. It may inform the kind of home you are looking at and how much you want to spend versus save for a future purchase.
- Comparison shop: Use RATESDOTCA to compare mortgage rates and options for your financing needs.

Mortgage brokers have access to rates from many mortgage-specific lenders and major banks, enabling them to find the best product for you. But is there a catch?
A higher score tells your bank that your risk as a borrower is low, which usually prompts them to offer a better rate for your mortgage.
There are different stages of the approval process when you apply for a mortgage and it’s important to know what they are and what they really mean.
This month, our mortgage expert offers his take on the Liberal's new plan to build 500,000 homes a year, and when to go for a variable rate in today's real estate market.
The Bank of Canada held rates at 2.75% for the second time, balancing a weakened labour market with April's mixed inflation data. For now, it chooses caution, avoiding premature cuts that could reignite inflation.
