Forest Grove is one of Saskatoon's newer, still-filling-in neighbourhoods, which means a resale listing there often competes directly with new construction in a way an established, built-out neighbourhood does not. A buyer choosing between a resale home and a builder's new-build model weighs price, finishes and possession timing differently than a buyer shopping only resale.
A resale seller in Forest Grove who prices against recent comparable sales, rather than against a builder's list price for a comparable new unit, avoids sitting on the market while a nearby new-build absorbs the same buyer pool. Condition and move-in readiness matter more here, and a $400 to $600 inspection that turns up no surprises helps a resale listing compete with a builder's model home.
