It's a province that's on an upward spiral and there's been no better time to call Saskatchewan home.
According to the latest Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) report, the highest number of housing starts since the 1970s were recorded in 2012. Urban and rural housing starts in the province totaled 9,968 units.
The report also indicates that urban housing starts in Saskatchewan increased in 2012, up 39.9 per cent compared to 2011, putting Saskatchewan in first place among the provinces in terms of percentage change.
If houses are coming up, that means people are moving in.
"With the strength of our economy and a surge in our population, 2012 is going down as one of our strongest years for housing starts in decades," Economy Minister Bill Boyd says. "With this pace of economic growth, Saskatchewan can expect to see an increased demand for housing and a buoyant construction sector creating jobs and continued prosperity.
"An investment in new housing is an important investment in the future of this province. This builds upon our province's success and prosperity, while helping to improve our quality of life."
If we build it, they will come.
