In pictures: Here are the 10 most expensive house listings in the Saskatoon area

Saskatoon saw an easing in new home listings in January and low inventory, according to the Saskatchewan Realtors Association.

The inventory of 881 units available was 30 per cent below long-term averages and the lowest January level since 2010.

The benchmark price of $328,600 was nearly six per cent higher than last January.
