Why Healthcare Professionals Are Relocating to Saskatoon in 2025

Saskatoon has been growing at a record pace but the health care has lagged — but in 2025, it’s becoming a top relocation destination for healthcare professionals from across Canada & the US.
So what’s behind the trend? And how is it shaping the local real estate market?
1. Strong Career Opportunities in a Growing Market
With the continued expansion of services at Royal University Hospital, Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, and nearby clinics, Saskatoon is attracting medical professionals seeking growth, research roles, and work-life balance.
Nurses, physicians, specialists, and allied health professionals are increasingly choosing Saskatoon over larger, more saturated markets.
2. Affordable Upscale Housing
Compared to major centres like Vancouver, Toronto, or even Calgary, Saskatoon offers significantly more home for the money — especially in family-friendly and amenity-rich neighbourhoods.
Whether it’s a custom build in Evergreen or a character home in Nutana, healthcare buyers are finding properties that align with both their professional success and personal values.
3. Lifestyle Fit for Young Professionals and Families
With accessible green space, a growing food scene, short commutes, and cultural amenities, Saskatoon is striking the right balance — particularly for healthcare professionals looking to settle down, raise families, or transition into leadership roles.
4. Stable, Manageable Real Estate Investment
Medical professionals are also looking at Saskatoon as a smart investment market. Its consistent growth, low vacancy rates, and strong demand for quality rental housing make it appealing for those interested in long-term wealth building.
How This Impacts You (Even If You’re Not in Healthcare)

Sellers: Expect increased demand in upper-market homes near hospitals, the university, or walkable urban neighbourhoods.
-
Buyers: Be aware of growing competition in key areas, especially east-side infills or newer builds with office/flex space.
-
Investors: Watch for opportunities in neighbourhoods that cater to medical professionals and their families.
