If you’re like many homeowners I work with, you’ve put years—maybe even decades—of hard work, love, and investment into your home. Now that you’re thinking about selling, it’s only natural to wonder:
“How do I make sure I don’t leave money on the table?”
It’s a great question—and an important one. Selling a home is often one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, especially if you’re downsizing or planning for retirement.
In this post, I’ll walk you through a few key steps I share with my clients to help maximize their sale price and make smart, informed decisions—without feeling pressured or rushed.

Start With an Honest Market Evaluation
Before you list, it’s crucial to understand what your home is truly worth in Saskatoon’s current market—not just what you hope to get, or what the neighbour down the street listed for.
I always tell my clients: “Pricing it right from the start is one of the most powerful tools you have.”
✅ Why?
Overpricing can scare buyers away, leading to your home sitting on the market and feeling “stale.”
Underpricing might trigger regret, especially if you realize later you could have done better.
Together, we’ll review recent sales, current demand, and your home’s unique features so you’re priced strategically—not emotionally.

Presentation Matters: Invest Where It Counts
One of the smartest ways to protect your home’s value is to make sure it shows beautifully—online and in person.
That doesn’t mean spending thousands on renovations you won’t get back in the sale price of your home. But it does mean smart preparation:
Professional photography (buyers search Saskatoon real estate listings online first)
Staging advice to highlight your home’s strengths
Minor updates that offer great return—like fresh paint or updated lighting.

Timing is Important—But Strategy Matters More
I hear it all the time: “Should I wait for the market to get better?”
Truthfully, there’s no perfect time—but there is a perfect plan for your situation. A strong strategy can create the right conditions no matter the market. For example:
Pricing competitively can spark buyer interest and even multiple offers
Marketing your home properly ensures it’s seen by qualified buyers looking for homes for sale in Saskatoon
Staying flexible with showings helps capture serious buyers when they’re ready
