The tradeoff is renter pool size. Forest Grove is a family-oriented suburb rather than a campus-adjacent neighbourhood, so it tends to draw family tenants rather than the steady student and hospital-staff demand a neighbourhood like Varsity View sees, which shifts the risk toward vacancy days rather than repair bills.
Suite legality still decides the real number. A secondary suite the City of Saskatoon has permitted counts toward a lender's income calculation; one that was never permitted does not, no matter how well it is finished.
Joel Dyck values Forest Grove investment properties against sold comparables and actual suite legality rather than a neighbourhood reputation, and citywide the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association benchmark price sat at $444,700 in August 2026, up 2.8 percent year over year.
