Lakeridge sits in south Saskatoon near Lakeview and Stonebridge, an area that has drawn steady condo development, and comparing units there really means comparing builder contracts as much as floor plans, since finishes and included features vary considerably between projects even at a similar price point.
New construction attracts the 5 percent federal goods and services tax that resale condos do not carry, and landscaping, window coverings and upgrade packages are commonly excluded from a builder's base price, so the headline number rarely reflects what actually lands on a closing statement.
Closing runs through a Saskatchewan lawyer and Information Services Corporation either way, with legal fees typically $800 to $1,500. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
