As with the rest of the nation, on average, house prices in Moose Jaw seem to be on the rise compared to 2008 levels.

A new RE/MAX real-estate survey suggests house values have increased in several major Canadian markets.

The national average price was $312,585, which is up 0.5 per cent from last year.

RE/MAX attributes the recovery to low interest rates, pent-up demand and improved affordability.

Jim Millar, Moose Jaw Real-Estate Board executive officer, told the Times-Herald the average house price for the month of August was up $20,000 this year compared to the same 31-day period in 2008.

This year’s August average was up to $177,000, compared to $157,000.

Since Mr Millar is running for council I was wondering if he could answer the question as to whether he thinks the true economic situation here matches what the prices of houses are at the present time. How will he help to make housing more affordable for those of us who work hard for a living???
