Regina, your housing market is leaving people behind

Your house is too expensive, eh

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

You know, sometimes you look at the news and it feels like a big, empty prairie, eh? Nothing much happening on the civic front today, according to our intel. But you know what always keeps rattling around, like loose change in your pocket? Housing. Always housing.

The Canadian Real Estate Association, CREA, has been talking a lot about making real estate more accessible. They just dropped a couple of new podcast episodes, Episodes 71 and 72, focusing on that. Episode 72 is all about Jeffrey Kerr and making the journey more accessible for clients with mobility, visual, or auditory barriers. And Episode 71, with Katie Hession, talks about the power of social media and REALTOR® presence. It’s a good reminder that even here on the prairies, finding a place that fits you, especially if you have specific needs, isn't always easy. We're a tight-knit community, but getting into a home can still feel like a big hurdle for a lot of folks, even when the market's not as wild as Toronto's.

It’s all part of the bigger conversation about what it means to live well here in Regina. What are we doing to ensure everyone can find a place to call home? That's the real question, eh?

Darlene Chicken-Lawson, MiTL Sports Desk, Regina.

Yeah, we talk about this kind of stuff every morning. Tune in live at mornings.live.
