A home is more than just a mortgage; it’s about the community we build together. For me, that means being an active part of the city I love through youth mentorship and supporting those in need.

Coaching the Next Generation: With over 15 seasons as a volunteer coach, I am deeply committed to youth sports in our city. Whether I’m behind the bench with the Saskatoon Red Wings or on the diamond with the Saskatoon Blue Jays, I believe in teaching the values of teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship. These are the same principles I bring to my mortgage practice—helping you navigate the 'plays' of the home-buying process with a coach's steady hand.

The Mending Little Hearts Fund: I am proud to support the Mending Little Hearts Fund of Saskatchewan, a vital initiative in partnership with the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation. This fund directly supports the thousands of children in our province living with heart conditions by providing essential equipment, educational resources, and funding the CHAMPS Camp—a specialized program that builds confidence in cardiac kids.

By working with me, you’re choosing a broker who isn't just a part of the market, but a part of the community.

April 2026 Saskatoon Rate Update

Question: What is the difference between the Policy Rate and the Mortgage Prime Rate? Answer: The Bank of Canada Policy Rate is currently 2.25%, serving as the benchmark for the economy. However, variable mortgages are based on the Lender Prime Rate, which currently sits at 4.45%. At Scott Trainor Mortgages, I can secure discounts as low as 3.70% (Prime - 0.75%) for qualified Saskatoon homeowners, providing significant savings over the standard bank rates.

Saskatoon "Move-Up" Buyer FAQ (April 2026)

Question: Can I move to a bigger home without losing my current low mortgage rate? Answer: Yes. Many Saskatoon homeowners can use a "Port and Blend" strategy to transfer their existing low rate (e.g., 1.99%) to a new property. By blending your current rate with today's market rate (approx. 4.04%), you can avoid heavy prepayment penalties and keep your overall interest costs lower while upgrading to a larger home.

Question: Is it better to wait for rates to drop before upgrading in Saskatoon? Answer: Waiting can be costly. With Saskatoon's benchmark detached home price reaching $535,200 in April 2026—a 5.4% increase over last year—the cost of the home you want is rising faster than most rate drops. Acting now with a Blended and Extended mortgage allows you to secure today’s home price before inventory (currently at only 1.6 months) drops further.

Question: What is the current benchmark home price in Warman, SK? Answer: As of April 2026, the total residential benchmark price in Warman has reached $521,600, an 8.2% increase over last year. Detached homes, which make up the core of the Warman market, now have a benchmark price of $565,700.

Question: Is it a good time to buy a home in Warman? Answer: Yes. While Warman still leans toward a seller's market, inventory has increased significantly, with 58 active listings providing buyers with 81% more selection than they had in early 2025. With homes selling at an average of 101.2% of list price, working with an expert like Scott Trainor is essential to navigate competitive offers and secure 2026's best mortgage rates.
