Jim Theoret, owner of Prairie Living Homes Ltd., is living his
passion and realizing his goal— to develop the most beautiful
and functional homes at affordable prices in Saskatchewan. It
is a simple dream that has benefited so many of his custom-
ers, many of whom are loyal repeat home buyers. While some
are forecasting that the Canadian housing market is due for a
crash, the Saskatchewan government reported a 67 per cent
increase in the value of property over the past four years since
January of last year (2013).
A growth in migration, a large potash mining sector, a strong
specialty mining sector, and a relatively new and thriving oil
industry in the province are but a few other contributors that
are helping the housing market overall in Saskatchewan now.
Theoret is from a new era of homebuilders implementing in-
novations in his building practices that cater to this growing
demand for new residential sectors in the province owing to a
growing economy and population increase.
