The City of Saskatoon sits on clay that swells and shrinks with moisture, so grading, downspout extensions and a dry basement matter more here than they would elsewhere. A buyer who sees a stain on a basement wall stops valuing the house and starts valuing the risk. Fixing the drainage is cheap. Being asked to discount for a foundation you cannot prove is sound is not.
Unpermitted work is the other Saskatoon specific item. Basement development, a suite, a deck or an electrical change done without a permit does not appear in the City of Saskatoon record, and a buyer's lawyer will ask. Closing the file on the permit, or disclosing plainly and pricing for it, is far better than having it surface during the condition period.
Everything past that is triage. Paint, hardware, lighting and a deep clean present well for very little. Kitchens and bathrooms almost never return what they cost on a house being sold within the year. Joel Dyck walks the property first and tells sellers which of the two lists an item belongs to, because the wrong renovation before a sale is money that does not come back.
