Should I sell my Erindale two-family with the rental unit vacant or occupied?

Whether to sell your Erindale two-family vacant or occupied depends on your buyer pool: an owner-occupant generally pays more for a vacant unit, while an investor values a unit already generating rent. Against Saskatoon's benchmark price of $444,700 per the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association, that difference can move your number meaningfully.

If the unit is occupied, the tenancy and any security deposit transfer to the buyer under Saskatchewan's Residential Tenancies Act, and that lease's remaining term and rent level become part of the deal, not a side conversation. A below-market lease can suppress what an investor buyer is willing to pay.

Vacating the unit before listing widens your buyer pool to owner-occupants but costs you rental income during the vacancy and adds cleaning and light repair time before your first showing. That tradeoff is specific to your rent level and how fast you need to close.
