Personalized support through every step, from listing to closing
We understand that no two sellers are alike. Our team adapts to your pace, preferences, and priorities, offering tailored guidance that respects your timeline and long-term goals.
As of 2025, Saskatchewan continues to lead Canada in farmland value growth with an average increase of 13.1% in 2024 alone. Demand remains strong across regions like Kindersley, Swift Current, Yorkton, and Melfort, driven by limited supply and investor interest.
Yet every parcel is different. Soil quality, water access, drainage, zoning, and even local weather patterns influence your sale price. We help you navigate those nuances with expert precision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Farmland in Saskatchewan
01
How long does it take to sell farmland in Saskatchewan?
Farmland sale timelines can range from a few days to several months, depending on your location, land type, price expectations, and buyer demand. Land near high-demand areas like Yorkton, Melfort, or Kindersley may move faster, while more remote or specialized parcels could take longer. We provide a realistic timeline up front based on market data and comparable sales.
02
Can I sell my farmland if it’s leased to a tenant?
Yes, leased farmland can still be sold. In most cases, the lease will transfer with the land, and the new owner will inherit the agreement. We’ll help you present this arrangement clearly to buyers and structure the sale in a way that respects both parties.
03
Do I need to subdivide my land before selling part of it?
Not always. If you're only selling a portion of your land, subdivision may be required, but not in every scenario. We can guide you through the process, work with the RM (Rural Municipality), and consult professionals to ensure the sale meets zoning and land-use regulations.
04
Who is allowed to buy farmland in Saskatchewan?
Generally, only Canadian citizens or permanent residents can purchase farmland due to The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act. Corporations must be 100% Canadian-owned. Buyers who don’t meet this requirement can apply for exemptions, but approval isn’t guaranteed. We help screen buyers early to avoid delays.
05
What happens if multiple family members co-own the land?
If land is co-owned (e.g., by siblings, spouses, or through an estate), all registered owners must agree to the sale and sign related documents. We’ve helped many families navigate these discussions and coordinate group approvals to ensure smooth transactions.
06
Is there a “best time of year” to sell my farmland?
While farmland can sell year-round, many owners choose to list post-harvest (October–November) or pre-tax season (February–March) when buyers are evaluating expansions. We help time your listing to align with market conditions and buyer activity for the strongest results.
