Free, private, and there is no obligation to list afterward.
Kensington is one of the youngest neighbourhoods on Saskatoon's west side, with roughly 73 per cent of its dwellings built between 2016 and 2021 and only marginal stock predating 2011. That youth shapes every listing here. Comparables are almost always nearby and almost always the same generation, and the neighbourhood is still moving through its first cycle of resale activity as original owners weigh their next step.
I work as a Saskatoon-based listing REALTOR®, and this page is written specifically for Kensington: how the neighbourhood's mixed housing formats, high two-unit share, ongoing new construction and 2024 sales activity affect a resale listing, and how my marketing puts your property in front of buyers already shopping the west side rather than broadcasting to the whole city.
Selling a Condo, Townhouse, or House in Kensington
Kensington is more evenly mixed across dwelling formats than most Saskatoon neighbourhoods. Of the 2,287 dwellings recorded in the City profile, 738 are single-family houses (32 per cent), 983 are in two-unit properties (43 per cent, which is unusually high for the city) and 566 sit in multi-unit buildings (25 per cent) (City of Saskatoon Neighbourhood Profile, 2021 Census data). Each of those formats has its own buyer profile, price band and marketing angle, and getting a listing right here means treating them separately rather than blending them into a single Kensington story.
Kensington condo value: what actually sets your price
Low-rise apartment condos in Kensington closed 22 times in 2024 at an average of $218,518 (City of Saskatoon). That average spans several buildings and unit sizes, none of which show up in the neighbourhood figure. What actually moves a specific unit is your building's recent closings, your floor and exposure, whether parking is titled or leased, the size of the monthly fee, and how a buyer's lawyer will read your reserve fund study. Have a look at current inventory on the Kensington condos for sale page.
Kensington townhouse listing agent: how townhomes sell differently here
Condo townhouses recorded 11 sales in Kensington in 2024 at an average of $227,355 (City of Saskatoon). Eleven sales is a modest sample, and pricing has to lean on comparables from your specific complex rather than the neighbourhood figure alone. Because units within a row often repeat the same floor plan, presentation, clean condo documents and marketing that clearly explains what the monthly fee covers usually decide which listing sells first. Browse what is listed on the Kensington townhouses for sale page. Two-unit properties (semi-detached and duplexes with separate titles) also make up a large share of the Kensington housing stock and often list as attached homes with detached-style ownership, which affects both financing and buyer profile.
Detached houses: the top of the Kensington market
Single-family homes were the largest cohort by sales activity in Kensington in 2024, with 111 sales averaging $550,620 (City of Saskatoon). That average spans a range of newer two-storey builds and larger family homes, and the right list price for a specific house comes from recent closings on your own street or crescent, not the annual average alone. Freehold inventory sits on the single family homes in Kensington page.
Whichever of the four formats you own (detached, semi-detached, condo townhouse or apartment condo), the marketing described below is applied to your listing, and the pricing work is done on your specific unit or lot rather than a neighbourhood-wide average.
How Your Listing Reaches Kensington Buyers
An MLS® listing is table stakes. It puts your home into the feed every REALTOR®, portal and consumer app pulls from, and on its own it will not separate your listing from the other Kensington homes that went live in the same week. Everything below runs on top of that baseline for every Braaten Group listing here.

Where a Kensington Listing Actually Gets Seen
Marketing spend only produces results if the destination it drives buyers to has real traffic. Every Century 21 Fusion listing appears on kentbraaten.com, which includes yours if you list your Kensington home with me, and the traffic gap between this site and the average brokerage site in Canada is meaningful.
Put simply, kentbraaten.com pulls roughly 23 times the monthly sessions and 79 times the monthly page views of the average Canadian brokerage site. A Kensington listing surfaced through this site lands in front of a much larger, already-engaged pool of buyers than one carried only on a typical brokerage page will reach.
Daily Reporting on Your Kensington Listing
Most seller frustration during a listing has nothing to do with the price itself. It has to do with silence between showings. Every listing I take on ships with a live Listing Insights Dashboard, built in Google Looker Studio and connected directly to the ad accounts, MLS® board and analytics feeds working on your file.
The dashboard above is a sample only. The figures come from a real Saskatoon listing rather than a Kensington property, and your own dashboard would report live numbers for your specific address and refresh each day.
Everything on the dashboard is pulled straight from source: Meta and Google ad performance, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube post reach, MLS® client-portal and agent activity, plus REALTOR.ca views, favourites, photo views and shares. You see exactly what I see, on the same day I see it, without having to phone in for an update or wait on a weekly summary.
Why Selling in Kensington Is Not Like Selling Elsewhere in Saskatoon
Kensington's 43-per-cent two-unit share is unusual for Saskatoon, and it changes the resale conversation right at the front. Semi-detached homes and separately-titled duplexes carry attached-style building form with detached-style ownership, and they attract a different buyer than either a full detached home or a condo townhouse. Pricing here has to sort those formats cleanly rather than lump them together under the neighbourhood name.
Roughly 73 per cent of the neighbourhood was built between 2016 and 2021, and only about 3 per cent predates 2011. That compressed age range means the home a few streets over is almost certainly the same generation as yours, and buyers expect similar structural bones from one address to the next. Differentiation and pricing power have to come from what has been done since move-in day: finishing, landscaping maturity, basement development and interior updates.
Kensington is also still growing. Developer parcels have continued to be built out through 2024 and 2025, and licensed builders have carried active spec-home inventory in the neighbourhood. A resale seller here can end up marketed against a builder's move-in-ready show home with brand-new finishes and a sales incentive attached, which is a different kind of competition than a fully built-out neighbourhood's resale-only market.
Because the neighbourhood is almost entirely post-2011 construction, there is no meaningful pool of long-tenured owners selling a family home after decades and no estate turnover of the kind common in older parts of the city. Every current seller is either an original buyer or someone who has already resold once, so the market is driven by life-stage moves, work relocation and upsize or downsize decisions rather than generational turnover.
Pricing a Kensington Home Across Its Four Ownership Formats
A CMA in Kensington has to start by identifying which of the neighbourhood's four ownership formats your home belongs to (detached, semi-detached, condo townhouse or apartment condo), because each has its own comparables pool and its own buyer. Grouping them together produces a blurry number that looks defensible on the surface but does not match how buyers actually shop.
The most recent official Kensington pricing data comes from the City of Saskatoon Neighbourhood Profile and covers the 2024 sales year: single-family homes averaged $550,620 across 111 sales, semi-detached homes averaged $363,750 across 2 sales (a very thin sample), condo townhouses averaged $227,355 across 11 sales, and low-rise apartment condos averaged $218,518 across 22 sales. Those are useful tier markers for planning, but the semi-detached sample especially cannot substitute for a comparables-based valuation and even the detached number is an annual blend across a wide spread of homes.
The citywide context also matters. Saskatoon's overall residential MLS® benchmark price hit a record $448,400 in June 2026 on roughly 1.6 months of inventory, with the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association and CREA flagging the Saskatoon-Biggar region as having the tightest housing-market conditions in the province through the first half of 2026. That low-inventory environment tends to favour sellers citywide, Kensington included, but it does not replace a CMA built on your specific comparables.
The listings below are current asking prices in Kensington, not closed sale prices, and they capture only half of what buyers are actually paying in the neighbourhood right now.
Closed sale prices, days on market and price adjustments across recent Kensington sales are not published publicly. I will bring that side of the comparison to your in-person evaluation, so the conversation is grounded in what buyers actually paid rather than what sellers listed for.
Who Is Buying in Kensington
The City's demographic snapshot points to a family-forming buyer pool. One-family households (860) outnumber non-family households (280) by roughly three to one, and the strong share of two-unit dwellings suggests a lot of buyers are stepping into home ownership through semi-detached or duplex product rather than starting in a full detached home. Marketing at the two-unit tier has to speak to that first-detached-purchase buyer without ignoring the move-up detached buyer at the top of the market.
Median personal income of $44,040 in Kensington sits close to the $44,650 citywide median, which is a useful anchor: buyers in this neighbourhood generally qualify at the price points the neighbourhood trades at. Pricing does not need to default to a defensive anchor, but it should reflect the reality that the two-unit and condo tiers here compete for the same first-purchase buyers active across the west side.
The 68-per-cent owner-occupied share is close to Saskatoon's overall pattern and points to a healthy mix of end-user and investor interest at the condo and townhouse tiers. Owner-occupied units typically show and sell differently from investor-turnover units, so the marketing plan is built to widen that gap rather than sit alongside investor stock on price alone.
The two-unit and condo tiers also attract a distinct segment: first-time buyers looking for a foothold on the west side, and downsizers who want a lower-maintenance format without leaving the neighbourhood. Those buyers care about the specific building, complex or side-of-street orientation, so marketing at that tier has to move past the neighbourhood story and speak to the exact address.
What Sellers Say
Kent was the best choice to sell our home. His presentation was professional, his strategy was clear, and his marketing went far beyond simply putting our house on REALTOR.ca and placing a sign in the yard. We felt confident throughout the entire process and would highly recommend Kent to anyone looking to sell their home.
Adam Kitter — seller, Evergreen neighbourhood, Saskatoon
Kent did an amazing job marketing our property. It was an investment property and we wanted to get maximum value out of it. His feedback and marketing strategy made the whole process easy, and the Listing Insights Dashboard kept us informed and relaxed from start to finish.

We were moving out of province for work, and Kent made the selling process seamless and stress-free. You could really tell the difference his planning and marketing made throughout the process.

Awards and Recognition
Awards are not a substitute for a solid CMA on your specific home, but they do show a pattern across many closings rather than a single strong year.
3×Centurion ProducerCentury 21 North American award for top producers
11×Masters AwardCentury 21 Canada recognition for top producers
2019Top Listing AgentCentury 21 Fusion, Saskatoon
Three Centurion Producer years, eleven Masters Awards, and a 2019 Top Listing Agent title at Century 21 Fusion, Saskatoon. That last one matters on a page written for Kensington sellers, because it measures listing-side production specifically rather than combined buying-and-selling volume.
Because most Kensington homes were built between 2016 and 2021 under a limited number of builder plans, preparation here is less about hiding age and more about separating your listing from the run of similar homes a buyer will tour on the same weekend.
Upgrade or refresh obvious builder-grade fixtures (light fixtures, faucets, hardware) that read as original next to updated comparables on the same street.
Address landscaping maturity, since many Kensington yards are still young; filling in bare patches, adding mature-looking planters and tidying young trees helps a newer yard photograph as established rather than incomplete.
Benchmark your presentation against active builder show homes and spec listings in the neighbourhood, since buyers touring Kensington will often see both formats in the same afternoon.
Finish or tidy unfinished basement space where practical, since basement development is often the largest single differentiator between two homes with identical footprints.
For two-unit properties, be clear in the marketing about title arrangement, shared elements and any registered agreements between the two sides, since these come up early in buyer questions.
For condos and townhouses, have your condo documents, reserve fund study, bylaws and recent financial statements ready before listing to avoid delays late in the deal.
Have any remaining new-home warranty paperwork ready, since a majority of Kensington homes are new enough that carry-over warranty coverage is one of the first buyer questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the City's 2024 average price for Kensington reflect what my home is worth today?
Not on its own. The City of Saskatoon's Neighbourhood Profile is the most recent official source for Kensington-specific sales, but it summarises the 2024 calendar year as a blended annual average across a wide range of properties. It is a useful tier marker for planning, but a current valuation has to start from recent closed sales in your own pocket, complex or side of the street and reconcile with today's citywide conditions, including the record $448,400 benchmark price Saskatoon recorded in June 2026.
Will my Kensington home compete with new construction still being built in the neighbourhood?
In some parts of Kensington, yes. Developer parcels have continued to be built out through 2024 and 2025, and licensed builders have carried active spec-home inventory in the neighbourhood. If your home is near an active building site, we account for that directly in how we price and market it, rather than pretending the competition is not there. A resale home also offers established yard, known utility costs and immediate possession, which a builder spec home cannot yet demonstrate.
How do I make my Kensington home stand out when the house next door was built the same year?
Because roughly 73 per cent of Kensington went up between 2016 and 2021 under a limited number of builder plans, exterior similarity from block to block is common. The differentiation has to show up inside: updated finishes, a well-developed basement, thoughtful staging, and photography that highlights the specific details a near-identical plan a few doors down does not have. Those inside-the-home differences carry more relative weight here than in a neighbourhood where age alone spreads homes apart.
Is selling a semi-detached or duplex in Kensington different from selling a full detached home?
Yes. Kensington's 43-per-cent two-unit share means semi-detached and separately-titled duplex product is a large part of the neighbourhood, and it sells to a different buyer than either a full detached home or a condo townhouse. Financing options, insurance, and the shared-wall conversation all shift, and marketing at that tier has to lead with the exact title arrangement and any registered agreements between the two sides rather than reading like a detached listing.
Is selling a condo or townhouse in Kensington different from selling a detached home here?
Yes, meaningfully. Kensington 2024 averages ran from $218,518 for low-rise apartment condos and $227,355 for condo townhouses up to $550,620 for single-family homes, and the buyer profile shifts at each step. Condo and townhouse buyers scrutinise the specific building: bylaws, reserve fund study, minutes, and any pending special assessments. Getting those documents ordered and reviewed before the listing goes live is one of the largest single levers on days-on-market at that tier.
Should I sell my Kensington home before buying my next one, or the other way around?
There is no default answer that fits everyone. Saskatoon is trading at record prices on roughly 1.6 months of inventory as of June 2026, so buying first can leave you carrying two mortgages briefly, and selling first can compress your search window. Kensington sees a lot of format-shift moves inside the neighbourhood (semi-detached buyers stepping up to detached, first-time condo buyers moving into townhouses), and those can sometimes be sequenced with an extended possession clause rather than a strict buy-first or sell-first path.
Does proximity to Mahoney Park change what my home is worth?
Position matters for a subset of buyers, especially at the detached tier. A park-adjacent or park-facing lot does not add a fixed dollar amount to every nearby home, but it widens the pool of buyers willing to book a showing, and drone photography that captures the outlook usually earns more clicks than a description alone. Any premium has to come from comparables rather than a general assumption.
Does the time of year I list in Kensington matter?
It nudges pace more than final price. Families lining up a summer close are already active in spring and early summer, and Kensington's family-forming demographic shows that pattern. Relocation traffic from other cities also does not stop in winter, since work-driven moves land on their own calendar. Your best listing month is usually the one that fits your own plans, and launch can be timed to the market phase where your specific property will show best.
How long does a well-prepared Kensington home usually take to sell right now?
Days-on-market depends heavily on tier, format and pocket, and the 2026 number keeps moving as inventory shifts, so a single quoted average would be out of date within weeks. What is safe to say is that with citywide supply around 1.6 months as of June 2026, well-prepared and correctly priced Kensington listings have generally been trading faster than they did a year or two ago. I bring current comparables for your specific property type and price point to the evaluation.
My Kensington home still has remaining new-home warranty coverage. Does that help when I list?
On most Kensington homes, yes. Roughly 73 per cent of the neighbourhood was built in the 2016 to 2021 window, so a significant share of homes here still carry structural or major-system coverage under Saskatchewan New Home Warranty (or an equivalent program), which typically follows the property rather than the original owner. Pull the certificates and any remaining coverage information out of your file cabinet before the evaluation so the language in the listing describes the coverage precisely rather than in vague terms.
Can I get a value on my Kensington home without committing to list it?
Yes. The evaluation is free, done in person on your property, and comes with no obligation. Many Kensington owners use it to cross-check a portal estimate that looks off, or to see whether the equity picture supports a next-format move (semi-detached to detached, or condo to townhouse) before opening a lender conversation. You get a real number based on real comparables and can decide from there.
What's my Kensington condo worth in 2026?
No 2026 average has been published for Kensington condos specifically, so any honest answer starts with a range that narrows once we look at your building. The most recent official numbers are 2024: low-rise apartment condos at $218,518 across 22 sales, and condo townhouses at $227,355 across 11 sales. Since then the citywide MLS® benchmark has climbed to a record $448,400 in June 2026 on about 1.6 months of inventory, which suggests those 2024 averages under-state 2026 values, but by how much depends on your specific building, floor, exposure, parking, unit size, monthly fee and reserve-fund health. Valuation happens against your building, not the neighbourhood average.
