Varsity View sits directly across from the University of Saskatchewan between College Drive and Eighth Street, so its condominium stock ranges from converted older buildings to purpose built low rise projects, with steady demand from staff, students and downsizers who want to walk to campus and to Broadway. Location supports resale here better than in most Saskatoon condo markets.
Look hard at monthly fees and what they include. Two units of the same size can differ by hundreds of dollars a month depending on whether heat, water, insurance and reserve contributions are covered, and buyers capitalise that difference into the price they will pay. A special assessment already levied, or clearly coming, is deducted from value directly.
Rental rules also affect price near a campus. Some corporations restrict the number of units that may be rented, which narrows the buyer pool to owner occupiers, while others allow rentals freely and attract investors. Joel Dyck reads the condominium documents before pricing a Varsity View unit, then adds the interior upgrades that no automated estimate and no assessment record ever recorded.
