![Cost of Living in Saskatoon - 2023 - [Updated]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/002r0bx26q8/mqdefault.jpg)
I grew up in Saskatoon and recently moved away to Cranbrook 5 months ago. The cost of living here is crazy, houses are unaffordable and the rental market is so competitive due to lack of housing. Wages are good, but there is nowhere to live and everything is more expensive, making them irrelevant. I have already been thinking about moving back, and I believe this video has helped me finalize that decision, thank you for that. BC is beautiful, but I think it's a great place to visit. Saskatchewan is a great place to live, especially Saskatoon.
This should be on billboards. Great comment. Thank you.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon I agree ... hopefully the city will get past these growing pains sooner, rather than later.
This is a deep night in BD. I have seen your amazing video ...once I will come as a teacher ...and talk to you.Thank you.
Watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
Looking forward to moving to Saskatchewan next year.
I can't wait to connect with you when the time is right.
Thank for all the wonderful contents over the years. You're a truly great ambassador of Saskatchewan.
Awesome. Appreciate the support! 🙏
I am currently 15 years old and from Bulgaria. I dream of living in Canada, especially in Saskatoon. I love watching your videos, and one day I would like to be part of Saskatoon's amazing community.
I believe it will happen. 🙏
I used to live in Saskatoon the place isn’t that big but trust me they make it really fun I lived in evergreen real fun place we went to a place where it was like a fun place or like party city anyways it was so nice living they’re kinda sad I left awesome place the reason we moved is cause my mom couldn’t find a job we moved to Edmonton and now she’s a millionaire so awesome place people they’re might be some npc’s but still nice place to live and visit they’res also clip and climb oh yea don’t forget how close everyone is to each other the max distance you can be from someone is ten or fifteen minutes bro and the house are pretty big to we had a whole house underneath are house and if you wanna learn French go to mother Teresa awesome place loved it they might not have sports teams but it’s an awesome place they’re are also a lot of travel teams they’re soccer teams we’re ok and curling ok summer in Saskatoon is amazing I have never seen anything better I’ve gone to Regina Winnipeg Edmonton Toronto but for me nothing beat Saskatoon and winter that can get tuff but if you wanna go sledding it’s awesome I remember my first crash tho I was riding wanna those thing with a steering wheel I crash into a bush I got scraped turn out they’re were breaks I didn’t know about but overall awesome place you should visit

Thank you for the information. Greetings from Costa Rica.
Thank you.
Not moving to Saskatoon but gotta say that you've given a great impression about the place... Really positive!
That’s what you say now 🤣. Appreciate the kind works man!
Short & simple information but important information. Love It. 👏👌
I appreciate you watching
Thank you for the informative video! Now I am in the other part of the world but hope to be there someday 🙏
I believe you will be.
Going for the first time . Looking forward.
Great video mate!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate that.
Very persuasive! I hope to live there soon^^
Let’s go!! 🔥
Watching from Concepción Chile wwe hope to be there in August and alrededor loving the Bridges and river because here we also have that, my husband and I both Veterinarians , greetings from the South of the world
Welcome in advance.
im watching from mexico great video i cant wait to go there :D
Amigo! You’ll love it here.
Considering to move to Saskatoon. Very tired of the hectic life in GTA. Would love to connect with you!
Let’s connect. All info is in description.
One year later the housing in Saskatoon is no longer affordable thanks to people coming in from the bigger cities buying up all the affordable housing and charging rent for one floor of a house that is comparable to prices in Vancouver or Toronto. The average person here does not make $100,000 a year to afford the 30% housing margin. It is ridiculously expensive to live here these days.
Relative to the rest of the country we are still affordable. There are far fewer people moving from out east and west then you think.
Wow I honestly didn’t know Saskatoon was that much more affordable than AB. Good to know!
It might be one of the most affordable areas in the country at this point. If you ever have someone moving this way let me know.
I am watching this video because I have convinced my husband that we should leave Quebec and go to Saskatchewan. I have never been there but My concerns is more about schools for kids, job opportunities and outdoor activities.
The schools a fine. I’m not sure why you would have a concern there. As for jobs I guess it depends on exactly what you want to do but Sask is projected to lead the entire nation next 2 years in economic growth. Outdoor activities are abundant here. You just need to commit to getting out there.
I’m convinced !
🔥
I'm in Québec now, but got to say that i really enjoyed my trip there in Saskatchewan, actually i'm think to move here nexte year, which houses prices there what amazed the most, i've never known that you could buy a nice house there with a price of condos in Montréal.
Ya it’s crazy. There is a stat that for 1 house in Toronto or Vancouver you can by 5-6 houses in Saskatoon.
Considering leaving Calgary. Questioning if I want to try Saskatoon or Edmonton. I'm more blue collar, looking for a slower pace of life but a few city amenities.
I’ve heard edmonton and saskatoon have similar housing and affordability. I can’t speak to Edmonton but the quality of life in Saskatoon is pretty awesome. Book a call if you want to discuss more.
The number 4 didn't surprise me at all !
Good video man I have a question, How is the summer in Saskatoon is really hot and wet ? Cause I don’t like hot and wet summers, for example me coming from the Caribbean I hate the hot and wet weather and in my city summer temperatures are around 30-35 Celsius and is wet everything stinks really disgusting 😂 (I mean does the sun feel so strength ?
SABINAH from Nigeria. Thanks for the information. You are doing a great job
Thanks for watching. It’s appreciated.
Bellingham, WA USA 🇺🇸
Bicycled through there in 2012 making Saskatoon a final bike touring destination in 2018. Absolutely loved it!! Huge streets, great bike access/culture wonderful river and lots of sunshine and space to move around in addition to a great universit and boreal forest to north. Love to move there due to its isolated but self sustaining location much better and cultured than Casper, WY that I'd also consider where i lived before. However, I'd be difficult as an American to immigrate being messy paying taxes to 2 countries in addition to figuring out Healthcare being retired. Not knowing alot, I'm sure I could make it work if I did the research.
And I do look at real estate!!! Too boot, many homes there have finished off basements with no worry of Radon gas like Casper, WY.
Jim thanks for the story. Saskatoon is pretty great. It’s cool as an American you’ve got to explore it a bit.
We're planning to move there next year..but we are still short on budget.. all of our salary is goin to rent and bills here in bc ..so hopefully next year.. if you can take a look at the market right now here in nelson BC for the rentals..it was so crazy..its like you have to work to pay someone mortgage..
Ya that’s crazy. You might not have the mountains but an amazing quality of life here. Jump into my calendar when the time comes. Would love to help.
Im watching from Vancouver! Sick of the prices out here 😅
Ya I hear it all the time. It’s seriously a great place to live.
How is it for people in the retirement age, over 60? How does the winter compare to Calgary? It looks like the population of the whole province is the same as Calgary. Do you have deliveries of groceries from Instacart, Voilà, UberEATS? How are condo rentals in Saskatoon compared to Calgary?
Great questions. Winter is comparable. Maybe a little longer with less thaw and freeze cycles. We do have grocery delivery and pick up options. Rent is a fraction of the price and so are home prices. Really good quality of life here.
Hi I am Imran from Pakistan
Scott bro your words gives a relief. Planning to move there. Wish to meet you too bro.
Good luck in your journey.
Thank you bro❤
really lost hope here in Montréal
Hi Scott, thanks for the very informative video. I had a question - how would you rate Saskatoon as a city for retirement living? How good/bad is medical care and how about wait times in ER? I am from Greater Toronto Area and ER wait times are horrendous here
Specifically speaking of healthcare we are better then Ontario but also have our challenges. Outside of healthcare saskatoon is a friendly and welcoming it would be a great place to retire too
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon Thanks for the prompt response
@@rickykum thanks for asking. 😊
Very nice and detailed video, how andwhere is the best place/area to get an affordable 3 bedroom apartment against november?
Facebook marketplace
Amazing video 👏🏽👏🏽.
Is Saskatoon viable for a music video and movie editor to relocate to? How's the music and movie industry there?
Pretty good music scene. Not sure there are a lot of film jobs persay.
Great video! I am planning on moving to Canada from the UK and Saskatoon really caught my eye. It won't be for another 2-3 years but I'd like to know what the tech sector is like? I have over 20 years experience and work in Cloud, DevOps and Infrastructure. My wife is a Solicitor with similar amounts of experience in her field. Will I be able to find work? Thanks :)
I would assume so. Saskatoon has some massive tech companies. Vendasta. Coconut calendar to name a few. As for your wife guaranteed
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoonThank you for responding! Yes, she is highly qualified and experienced in UK Criminal law (Senior Crown Prosecutor) but believe some re-qualification may be required. Thanks again, looks a beautiful place.
Thanks so much for this information, please can one get a 3 bedroom house in Saskatoon as a student with kids before landing?
Facebook marketplace, www.kijiji.ca or you can call saskatoon property management companies and see if they have any availability.
Hi Bro, Thank you very much for giving important news regarding Saskatoon. Please know that I will land there along with my family in the month of march (InshaAllah).As a new comer, should I take an apartment in avenues living areas and is it safe for family as far as crime is concerned?
If I were you I’d call around and search around for the best location and quality of unit.
I’m considering
Please make video on Regina too. I am from GTA Ontario. Doing research about Saskatchewan and Alberta. Two good affordable provinces.
Regina sucks 😜. Sask is much more affordable than Alberta.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon Hahaha sure it sucks. Neighborly love is there
Hi I really like number 4. Question for you about condo or penthouse do you know average size of belcony for those that have an outside belcony. Example I like belcony 7.5 ×12.5 or more I would consider that medium size. Are most belcony at least that big or is only small percentage that big?
Hard to answer. If you get a townhouse condo with a back patio there are usually about that size.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon Sorry I meant belcony.
@@wiseman4160 small balcony is probably 5’x7’. Large 5’x15-20’.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon Thanks!
Has the infrastructure of Saskatoon kept up with the population growth: healthcare, housing, roads to prevent congestion??
Hi Scott, will be soon in Saskatoon, are you offering options for those looking for rentals?
Unfortunately no. Realtors here do not help with rentals. Facebook marketplace or kijiji.ca. You can also try and call local property management companies and see what they have available. Good luck.
Hi sir..i have a question..i live in BC and planing to move there in saskatoon..with my family.. my question is how can i convert my license in BC to SK? Do i need to get a new knowledge test and roadtest? I have class56 Drivers license..thanks
No testing required. Once you have a Sask address you just go down to a SGI licensing business and change it over. Its simple.
Jump into my calendar if you want to buy a house here. We can talk more.
I’m from Toronto moving to Saskatoon next month 🙏🏾
You’re not the only one. Hit me up if you need anything man. 🙏
Watching from Thailand. I and my family are planning to move to Saskatoon :)
Let’s go!! Lots of Thai people here. Check out restaurant 224.
Why? Thailand is awesome. Saskatoon is very cold in the winter.
From Thailand moving to Saskatoon :) ahaha...its like moving from heaven.....money is not everything...thailand is life
Hi, what about healthcare, it's well known that Healthcare is in shambles all over Canada, is it like that in SK? Or is it any better than other provinces.
Thanks !!
Hard to say to be honest. I agree its a mess in Canada. Sask is on a much smaller scale so historically our overall heath score if I can put it that way is better then the national average.
@@scottziegler413 thanks for your quick response Scott
i m from toronto, can't wait to move to saskatoon :))
Can’t wait to have you.
I am in Saskatoon, and 100% agree to what you have suggested except for the fact that average salary is under 80K, don’t think so !
Average salary is like $79,000. Aprox. So more some less.
From CMHC ... For Saskatoon, the Average household income before taxes is$103,445. Median household income before taxes is $83,127. Those are not individual numbers necessarily, so they often represent two or more wage earners in the household.
Hai scott, can you give some information about how to rent a house/apartment easliy right before we land in Saskatoon
Facebook marketplace. www.kijiji.ca or you can google and call saskatoon property management companies and see if they have anything available for you to rent. Good luck.
Is it easy to get used living in Saskatoon in the winter compared to Calgary??
Absolutely. In fact you wouldn’t notice much of a difference at all. Maybe not as many shanooks but relatively the same.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon That's Chinooks! I really have this impulse to visit Saskatoon, I don't even understand why myself! But people say the winter is "worse" in Saskatoon than in Calgary!
I am from Pakistan and moving to Saskatoon by the start of next year.
I am professional civil Engineer with 8 years hands on experience in construction management and project executions.
I need your advice for opportunities of civil engineers , their avg salary, etc
Welcome. Sorry I don’t have that info. I’m sure google does tho. Good luck.
My future City. I just got hired by Brandt Manufacturing. Waiting for my SINP application.
Congrats.
Im Going To Saskatoon For 3 Days!
Are there people speaking german in saskatoon?
We have some German speaking people. There is a community for everyone here.
Are people moving from Alberta to Saskatoon? How does Saskatoon compare with Regina?
I don't know about how many Albertans are moving BACK to Saskatoon and Saskatchewan (many left SK in the 60s, 70s, 80's and 90s for better paying jobs) ... but I'm sure there are quite a few. Saskatoon and Regina are similar in many ways. Saskatoon is a bit bigger ... but I believe the amenities in each city are very comparable. We could get into a discussion as to which city is better, but personally I would pick Saskatoon ... it's a beautiful city.
@@glenofthenorth8292 If I were 30 years ago I would definitely move to Saskatoon. It's similar to the Calgary of my childhood in the 1960s and 1970s when Calgary only had 300,000 people! I would rather now live in retirement in Saskatoon instead of Calgary!
@@dovygoodguy1296 I no longer live there, I have retired to a tropical country that is more affordable for me on my fixed pension income. I don't miss the Sask. winters too much ... LOL ... but I do miss Saskatoon and the other 3 seasons. It was always something special when the first tangible signs of Spring arrived. Summers are amazing and fall is generally delightful, but you never know what you're going to get. The one fly in the ointment is that the city is growing rapidly, due mainly to immigration. I personally loved the diverse nature of the city, and felt it was, and is, a positive. But the influx tends to cause housing costs to rise, due to demand outstriipping supply. I do miss Saskabush a lot.
@@glenofthenorth8292 You must be in the Dominican Republic!
@@dovygoodguy1296 Nope ... different ocean ... I'm in SE Asia ... the Philippines. Although I've never been to the Dominican, I never even considered it. I love Mexico, but there are crime issues there and I didn't want to tempt fate. Plus the language was a bit of a problem. Here ... most people understand english and although I'm on a fixed income, it is very affordable for me.
South Africa ❤
Hi Scott, my name is Kenneth and am chatting you from Nigeria and i will like to visit.
Nice. Say hi when you’re here.
I wana come there am in Montréal there is no work here
I'm watching you from Ukraine, thanks for content
Oh wow. Lots of Ukrainians here!
Uranium being the future source of power is so true
I hope I will be able to join soon, and be a part of an amazing community
That would be awesome. 🙏
Good 👍
Great 👍
Hey Scott :) Finally I am moving in March/April from Pakistan
I have watched almost all of your amazing videos.
Can I start a business in sask From 100k cad $ ?
Honestly I’m not sure. I suppose it depends on what type of business and what start up costs you’ll have. But 100k should go along way to getting you a business started. Congrats.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon my friend, how can we connect with you to find a rental home? Immigrating to Saskatoon around March
@@abdullahirshad1276 unfortunately I am not able to help you find a rental property. Try Facebook marketplace Or you can Google and call Saskatoon property management companies and see what they might have available for you.
I may have some Cool lebanese Christian friends who want to move there from Beirut Lebanon. One is a construction Engineer, and his wife has a 4 year degree in Accounting. If you could use very talented people who speak multiple languages ect... I'll give them a heads up.
Those are the type of immigrants our government want to come. Tell them to apply.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon I'm a combat veteran born on a native American reservation went to college for business currently am a asphalt foreman/superintendent at a construction company in the states, I'm married to a very beautiful lebanese Christian woman from Beirut Lebanon. Extremely talented people they are, most of her friends are doctors, lawyers, Engineers, architect's and so on. Very humbling experience meeting with them. But they are very down to Earth and have that old school Christian values and morals. That's why I married outside the U.S.A. got tired of dating shallow American women.
You too can fry in the summer and enjoy one of the coldest winters in the country. In your spare time enjoy the highest or second highest crime rates per capita in Canada. Not much to do or sites to see. And very difficult to find work, while you pay ridiculous rent and house prices on sub standard properties. Lol
Like number 190 keep going
Likely leaving Toronto in a few years. Its busy here, its unaffordable, people are miserable, crime is on the rise and politics run the city. I want to get to a more laid back place, where I can have 10 minutes of peace and not have to deal with some month dedicated to a political identity that I am being forced to support. Figure since Saskatchewan is more of a farming province it can give me some of the peace and quiet that I want. Not sure if Saskatoon is the city I'll be living in, but Saskatchewan is the province that has been on my mind for all year as a potential spot to move to. Planning to take a visit out that way when I get some vacation time to scout out the province. I can do all the research on education, healthcare, etc. Nothing like seeing it in person will do for giving it the vibe check.
This comment might be the best advertisement for people to move here. I hear ya brother. Sask with pass the vibe check
I would suggest that if you do move to Sask. ... then Saskatoon is probably your best choice. It is generally laid back, calm and peaceful ... yet big enough to offer the amenities and convenience that most people have come to expect.
On my way seee u next month
Nice. Welcome in advance.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon how to reach u
Calgary is the sunniest place in Canada
Wrong. 😊
I’m from China.how many Chinese are there?thanks😊
There is a fairly large population of Asian and Chinese people here.
@@ScottZieglerSaskatoon That‘s sounds great.I hope to live there🐲🐉🐲🐉🐲.Then,I’d like to rent an apartment or a townhouse,What APP can you recommend?
SK❤🌄
I’m watching from Saskatoon 😅
Awesome. What did you think of my list? What would you add? Thanks for watching.
Ya but you're a sales man!!!!!!
I share information!
Saskatoon sounds like an alternative to cartoon. Something that's made in Saskatchewan for children to make them learn to praise the great Saskaboss. Needless to say it's the only thing they are allowed to watch. If a child is caught watching cartoons the family gets imprisoned by the Saskapolice.
"Should've just watch the saskatoons, kid!"
public transportation is good sakatoon
Most annoying thing about saskatoon....Merges! Merge after merge after merge... It's a new swear word... No more merge! Even the traffic is almost as bad as Calgary!
Preach it.
Crime, racism, not a diverse city. Those are reasons why immigrants move from Saskatoon.
Those issues are faced by all cities. But I disagree they are prevalent in our city.
My husband and I were just in Saskatoon visiting from Ontario. I would have to disagree on this point. We met so many people living there from all different parts of the world- it was a very diverse community.
We can’t really comment on the crime or racism but everyone we met seemed very happy to be there.
How do I connect with you
i live on the west coast and love the rain, how often does it rain in saskatoon?
This year every day lol. June is our wet month other then that is not too bad. But we get snow Nov to March.
