What is my house worth in Saskatoon?

Your house is worth what a ready buyer will pay today, which starts from recent sold comparables in your own neighbourhood and then adjusts for condition, lot and improvements. Saskatoon's benchmark price was $444,700 in the latest Saskatchewan REALTORS Association report, but nobody actually owns the benchmark home.

Three numbers get confused constantly. Your City of Saskatoon assessment is a tax figure calculated on a percentage of value of 80 percent for residential property and set on a cycle that lags the market. An online estimate from HouseSigma, Realtor.ca, Zolo or Wahi is a model run on public data. Market value is what a buyer pays this month for a house in your condition. Only the third one is your answer.

Context helps you read your own number. The association reported 446 residential sales in the city, 6.6 percent above the ten year average for the month, with 1.63 months of supply. That is a market with room for a correctly priced home and very little patience for an overpriced one, which matters because pricing wrong for four weeks costs most sellers more than the commission does.

The piece no model can supply is your own house. Online estimates and public records cannot see a renovation done without a permit, so a finished basement, a rebuilt kitchen, a newer furnace or an added bathroom simply does not exist in their data. Joel Dyck's hand-reviewed valuation walks the property, documents those improvements and prices them against comparable Saskatoon sales.
