What Avalon homes are doing
the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association publishes its benchmark for Saskatoon as a whole rather than street by street, so the honest answer for Avalon is the city benchmark of $444,700 plus what a walk-through of the specific home changes. Joel prices from sold comparables on the block, not from a neighbourhood average.
What is Avalon actually like to sell in?
Most of Avalon was annexed by the city between 1910 and 1919, but homes did not go up in earnest until after the Second World War, and the neighbourhood was largely built out by the late 1960s, with some later infill west of Melrose Avenue in the 1980s and south of Glasgow Street in the mid-1990s. The street layout shows that history: the north end follows the older grid, while the south end has the curving streets and cul-de-sacs that came in during the 1950s. Single family homes are the core of the market. City of Saskatoon figures for 2024 show 59 single family sales averaging $387,961, plus 5 semi-detached sales averaging $464,279. Children in the area attend John Lake School and Georges Vanier Catholic Fine Arts School, which opened in 1958. Because most houses here are 60 or more years old, updates to the roof, windows, electrical and basement make a big difference in price from one home to the next.
