Realtors, buyers and sellers are experiencing a hot market in Regina after a pause caused by the pandemic.
Tyler Koda sold his house in Regina in March. He said it was on the market for 25 hours before it was sold. Buying a house was definitely more troublesome than selling, Koda said.
Koda said he and his wife looked at a dozen houses before purchasing the one they are currently living in. It was frustrating in a way that every time we would look at a place, something wasn t exactly what we needed or what we wanted. There would always sort of be a missing element, Koda said. Beyond that, when we would go inquire about purchase or even possibly make an offer, it had already been sold.
