What should a Mayfair senior do first when downsizing?

The first move for a Mayfair senior downsizing is getting an accurate valuation of the current home, since that number, not a guess or the City of Saskatoon's assessment notice, is what determines every decision that follows, from the budget for a next home to the moving timeline.

Sorting decades of belongings is the part that actually takes the longest, often more than the sale itself, so starting that process before listing rather than after an offer is accepted keeps the whole timeline realistic and inside a 6-month window.

Once the valuation and the equity picture are clear, the next question is sell-first or buy-first, and the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's tight supply of 1.63 months of inventory factors directly into which order makes sense.

Joel Dyck sequences the valuation, the sort-through and the sale so a Mayfair senior moves on their own schedule, not the market's. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
