Because many Nutana homes carry decades of renovation history, some of it undocumented, request the City of Saskatoon's permit file for the address and compare it against what the seller describes was done. A basement suite or an added unit that never went through a permit is a real cost to fix later, not a feature to bank on now.
Rental demand here is genuinely strong, driven by proximity to the University of Saskatchewan and Broadway Avenue, but that demand does not offset a mechanical problem an inspection would have caught. A home inspection, typically $400 to $600, is the cheapest insurance available before you close.
