Your Regina housing market: boom or bust?

Your housing market just won't quit, eh?

This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

*Tânisi* Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, giving you the rundown of what we’ve been chatting about this week from City Hall. It's been a whole lot of talk, *oh for sure*, mostly about what's happening with our housing market. Seems like every day there's a new twist, eh?

### Still Talking Housing

From the sound of things at City Hall, everyone’s still trying to figure out if we're headed for a boom or… well, not a boom. Folks are watching those interest rates like a hawk watches a gopher out by the RCMP Depot.

Here's what we've been hearing this week:

* Home prices are still making waves, not quite settling down yet.

* New developments are getting looked at, but the pace is a bit slow.

* Everyone from the mayor to your neighbour at the grocery store on Albert Street is wondering what next month will bring.

* Affordability is a big concern, especially for young families trying to get a start.

It’s like we're all just holding our breath, waiting to see which way the wind blows over the prairies. For Regina residents, it means keeping an eye on those listings and maybe holding off on that big backyard renovation for now, *tânispi*.

That's the City Hall update for you. I'm Darlene Chicken-Lawson, and *iskwewak, oskapewisak, nimosompanak*, you stay safe out there.
