Downtown Saskatoon is the city's central business district on the west bank of the South Saskatchewan River, and the main place in Saskatoon to buy a condo with the river and the core at the door. It suits buyers who want to walk to work, dining and the river.

What Downtown 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 Downtown 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 Downtown actually like to sell in?
Most homes downtown are condominiums, from older apartment-style buildings to newer towers, which means a downtown purchase is usually a condo purchase. That makes condominium fees, the reserve fund, the condition of the building and the bylaws as important to the decision as the unit itself, and those documents should be reviewed before an offer goes firm. River Landing, on the riverfront, is the City of Saskatoon's cultural and recreational hub and the only urban destination in the Meewasin Valley's 100-year plan, with residential, commercial, retail and public spaces and pathways connecting it to the rest of the core. Joel works with buyers and sellers of downtown condos and apartment-style units, and prices each one from recent sales in the same building and comparable buildings nearby, since two downtown units of the same size can sell for very different amounts.
