Your Regina home just got harder to afford.

Your housing market is still the talk of the town, eh?

This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

*Tânisi* Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, giving you the rundown of what we’ve been chatting about this week from City Hall. It’s been a week where, oh for sure, the housing market took centre stage, eh?

### Talking Regina Homes

We’ve been digging deep into the housing situation here, and it's clear it's on a lot of people's minds. The talk isn't just about prices, which, *iskwêwak*, can feel like they're climbing faster than a combine on a hill, eh?

Here’s what we’ve been hearing and seeing:

* **Affordability concerns:** Folks are wondering if they’ll ever own a home near Wascana Lake, or even out by the RCMP Depot. * **Real Estate accessibility:** We even talked about a podcast, *kâ-miyopayicik*, that’s shining a light on making housing more accessible for everyone. It's not just about the big sale, eh? * **Market trends:** What's driving all this? Is it interest rates, folks moving here, or just the general buzz?

It’s about making sure everyone in Regina, from those in Cathedral to the folks out in Harbour Landing, feels like they have a fair shake at finding a place to call home. This isn't just numbers, this is about our neighbours, eh?
