WINNIPEG, April 8, 2014 /CNW/ - The Royal LePage House Price Survey released today showed strong year-over-year growth for standard condominiums and standard two storey homes with a 5.3 per cent increase to $203,118 and 5.1 per cent increase to $325,072 respectively.

"We have definitely seen a slow start to the year in Winnipeg," said Rick Preston, broker/owner, Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate. "Our inventory levels are up compared to last year, but buyers are being choosy. The good listings are moving quickly, but questionable listings are sitting on the market."
The Saskatchewan government has released the province`s unemployment rate, which is the lowest in the country for the 15th consecutive month according to Statistics Canada.
At 4.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the Saskatchewan rate was below the national average of 6.9 per cent.
