What is a final walkthrough in Saskatoon real estate?

A final walkthrough is the buyer's last visit to a Saskatoon home, typically in the days just before possession, to confirm the property is in the same condition as when the offer was accepted and that any repairs promised in the condition clauses were actually completed.

Saskatchewan uses possession day rather than a closing date, and the final walkthrough happens on the buyer's side of that possession, separate from the lawyer's work, typically $800 to $1,500 in fees, at Information Services Corporation registering title, so it is a physical check of the house, not a legal step.

What buyers actually check is specific: appliances and fixtures named in the offer are still there, no new damage has appeared, agreed repairs are done, and the home is left broom-swept, since Saskatchewan offers do not typically include the seller's furniture or belongings unless listed.

A problem found at the final walkthrough gets resolved through the lawyers before possession, usually with a holdback from the sale proceeds, rather than after the buyer already has the keys. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
