An infill build in an established neighbourhood like Eastview often sits on a smaller or irregularly shaped lot than new construction on the city's edge, so confirm setbacks, grading and drainage were approved by the City of Saskatoon rather than assumed. Builder warranties in Saskatchewan typically cover different systems for different periods, so read the schedule rather than the marketing summary.
New does not mean flawless. Deficiencies from rushed trades show up more often on new builds than buyers expect, and a $400 to $600 pre-possession inspection with a written deficiency list protects you before the builder's crew moves on to the next project.
Joel Dyck reviews new-construction contracts and warranty terms with Eastview buyers before possession, so nothing gets missed in the excitement of a brand-new home. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
