How much income would it take to afford a home in Regina?

This table shows how much household income it would take to afford a home based on estimated Regina home prices.

Home TypeHome PriceMortgageIncome Required
All Residential$340,000$272,000$85,200
Detached$375,000$300,000$91,800
Townhouse/Row$260,000$208,000$69,900
Condominium$195,000$156,000$57,500

Regina may be the most accessible major city in Canada for homeownership. A household earning approximately $92,000 can afford the average detached home — less than half the income required in Toronto and roughly a third of what’s needed in Vancouver. Condominiums are accessible to households earning under $58,000.

The income to afford calculation uses the following inputs:

  • Down payment of 20% to avoid mortgage default insurance
  • Mortgage rate of 4.04%
  • Amortization period of 25 years
  • Gross debt service (GDS) ratio of 32%
  • Property tax of $354 per month
  • Heating costs of $200 per month (higher due to Saskatchewan winters)

Government employment anchor

As Saskatchewan’s capital city, Regina benefits from the stability of provincial government employment. This creates a reliable base of well-paying jobs that supports housing demand through economic cycles. Major employers include the Government of Saskatchewan, SaskPower, SaskEnergy, SaskTel, SGI, and the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Corporation.

Energy and agriculture

Regina’s economy is closely linked to Saskatchewan’s two major resource sectors: oil and gas, and agriculture. The city is a hub for agricultural services and processing, with companies like Viterra, Richardson International, and Brandt Group headquartered or significantly represented in the region. Oil production in southern Saskatchewan supports employment and economic activity.

Interprovincial migration

Like the rest of the Prairie provinces, Regina has benefited from interprovincial migration from more expensive provinces. The affordability gap between Regina and cities like Toronto and Vancouver is so large that it represents one of the most compelling value propositions in Canadian real estate.

Steady population growth

Regina’s population has grown steadily, driven by immigration and interprovincial migration. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has been a significant contributor, bringing skilled workers and their families to the province. This population growth provides sustained demand for housing.

New development in the south and east

Regina has seen significant new development in its southeastern and southern communities. The Harbour Landing neighbourhood, in particular, has experienced rapid growth with new retail, residential, and commercial development. This new construction helps keep prices moderate by providing adequate supply.

Notable areas in Regina

Regina is a compact city with distinct neighbourhood characters:

  • Cathedral — One of Regina’s most desirable central neighbourhoods with character homes, independent shops, and a bohemian vibe along 13th Avenue. Detached homes range from $250,000 to $450,000.
  • The Crescents — Regina’s most prestigious residential area with large character homes near Wascana Park. Prices range from $400,000 to $700,000+.
  • Lakeview — An established neighbourhood bordering Wascana Lake with family-friendly streets and mature trees. Detached homes range from $300,000 to $500,000.

  • Downtown — A compact core with condo options ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, offering the most affordable entry point.

Affordability comparison: Regina vs. other major cities

Regina’s affordability advantage is among the strongest in Canada:

CityAverage Home PriceIncome Required
Toronto (GTA)$1,022,143$215,828
Vancouver (GVA)$1,165,300$286,589
Calgary$616,686$163,500
Ottawa$641,436$142,484
Halifax$569,778$125,802
Winnipeg$383,977$103,506
Saskatoon$390,000$95,000
Regina$340,000$85,200

Regina arguably offers the highest homeownership accessibility of any major Canadian city, with the lowest average home prices and income requirements. This makes it an especially attractive option for first-time buyers and newcomers to Canada.

Saskatchewan property transfer considerations

Saskatchewan does not have a traditional land transfer tax like Ontario or BC. Instead, buyers pay relatively modest fees:

  • Title transfer fee — A nominal fee based on property value, significantly lower than land transfer taxes in other provinces
  • No provincial sales tax on resale homes — Saskatchewan’s PST does not apply to resale residential properties
  • GST on new homes — The federal 5% GST applies to newly constructed homes, but not resale properties

This is a significant advantage for Saskatchewan buyers. In Ontario, a $340,000 home would incur approximately $3,525 in land transfer tax (or ~$7,050 in Toronto with the municipal LTT). In Saskatchewan, the equivalent fee is only a few hundred dollars.

Wascana Park: Regina’s centerpiece

One of Regina’s unique features is Wascana Centre, one of the largest urban parks in North America at approximately 930 hectares (2,300 acres). The park surrounds Wascana Lake and includes the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, Royal Saskatchewan Museum, University of Regina campus, and extensive walking and cycling trails. Properties bordering Wascana Park — in The Crescents, Lakeview, and Hillsdale — command significant premiums.
