What Riversdale 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 Riversdale 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 Riversdale actually like to sell in?
Riversdale's lots follow the same tight, narrow pattern as the rest of Saskatoon's older core, laid out well before the wide suburban lot became the norm. The housing stock is a genuine mix, original early twentieth century homes that have never been touched, fully renovated character homes that sell close to their City Park or Nutana equivalents, and newer infill built where an older house came down. Restaurants and independent shops along 20th Street West have driven more of that redevelopment here than in almost any other Saskatoon neighbourhood, and that has pulled prices up unevenly rather than across the board. Buyers in Riversdale range from renovators and investors comfortable taking on a project to young, first time buyers priced out of Nutana who want similar bones at a lower entry cost. Because renovation status varies so much from block to block, the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's citywide benchmark of $444,700 describes a typical Saskatoon home better than it describes a typical Riversdale one.
