Here's a chart of housing prices over time in Canada, adjusted for inflation: http://www.macleans.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rabidoux_house_chart.png http://www.macleans.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rabidoux_h... In their index, housing prices were about 100 in 2000 and about 180 in 2013, so houses were about 80% more expensive in 2013 versus 2000. That is in real terms. You'd expect it to be more like 103% more expensive in nominal terms (assuming 2%/year inflation). Here's a good source for recent housing prices in Canada: http://crea.ca/content/national-average-price-map http://crea.ca/content/national-average-price-map It shows that the average sale price in Canada was $433k in August 2015. But there's tremendous variation within Canada. Vancouver was around $900k; PEI was $158k. It looks like Saskatchewan was around $253k, so a bit over half the national average, with Regina and Saskatoon being more expensive in the $310-320k range. About 15 years ago you would have expected prices to be about half that in Saskatchewan, or maybe $125k. So no, house prices have not gone up 10x in the last 15 years and $20-30k were not typical house prices in Saskatchewan at the time.
