– macleans.ca
A real estate sold sign hangs in front of a west-end Toronto property Friday, Nov. 4, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graeme RoyOTTAWA – The Canadian Real Estate Association says the national average price for homes sold in July fell compared with a year ago, the first year-over-year drop since February 2013.
The association says the average price for a home sold last month was $478,696, down 0.3 per cent from July 2016, due to fewer sales in Toronto and Vancouver compared with last year.
Excluding Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto, the national average price was $381,297, up from $365,033 a year ago.
The drop in the national average price came as the number of homes sold through Canadian MLS systems fell for the fourth consecutive month, moving down 2.1 per cent in July compared with June.
CREA says July sales were down from June in close to two-thirds of all markets, led by the Greater Toronto Area, Calgary, Halifax-Dartmouth and Ottawa.
The move leaves sales down 15.3 per cent from the record set in March…

SaskPower wants five per cent rate increase to keep up with demand, aging system
– canadianbusiness.com
Residential power users in Saskatchewan could be paying about $6 more a month for electricity next year.
SaskPower has asked for a five per cent rate increase that would take effect March 1.
The provincially owned power company says the increase is needed to keep up with growing electricity demand, environmental commitments and investment in an aging electrical system.
SaskPower CEO Mike Marsh says the company has invested more than $6 billion in capital projects and power purchase agreements over the last five years.
The request for a rate increase still needs to be approved by the Saskatchewan rate review panel.
The panel advises the government about the reasonableness of a rate change.
