Lakeview is one of Saskatoon's established south-side neighbourhoods, and its housing mix is genuinely unusual for the family-heavy south side. Of the 3,061 dwellings the City counts, 34 per cent are in multi-unit buildings, one of the higher multi-unit shares among established south-side neighbourhoods, and the low-rise apartment condo tier produces the largest single-year condo sales sample in this batch: 83 low-rise apartment closings in 2024 alone. Detached houses still make up 54 per cent of the stock, but Lakeview trades in real volume across both the condo and detached tiers, not as a detached-only market with a token condo layer.
I list homes across Saskatoon as a REALTOR® based in the city, and this page is written specifically for Lakeview sellers: how the meaningful condo share, the strong low-rise apartment resale market, the established 1980s-dominant detached stock, and the settled owner-occupied base affect a resale here, and how the marketing described below reaches the buyers who are actually shopping south-side Saskatoon.
Selling a Condo, Townhouse, or House in Lakeview
Lakeview is one of the more balanced established south-side neighbourhoods on the housing mix. Of the 3,061 dwellings recorded by the City, 1,643 are single-family houses (54 per cent), 1,040 are in multi-unit buildings (34 per cent), and 378 are two-unit dwellings (12 per cent) (City of Saskatoon Neighbourhood Profile, 2021 Census data). Each of those three product types has its own buyer pool and its own pricing conversation, and Lakeview is one of the neighbourhoods where treating the market as detached-only genuinely leaves money on the table.
Lakeview condo value: what actually sets your price
Apartment-style condos are a large and active part of the Lakeview market. The City recorded 83 low-rise apartment condo sales in 2024 at an average of $177,505 (City of Saskatoon). Eighty-three sales in a single year is one of the deepest condo samples in the city, which means pricing at this tier has an unusually strong comparable base to work from. What still decides your specific unit is your building, your floor and exposure, whether parking is titled or leased, the monthly fee, and how healthy the reserve fund reads to a buyer's lawyer. Current inventory is on the Lakeview condos for sale page.
Lakeview townhouse listing agent: how townhomes sell differently here
Condo townhouses are effectively absent from the Lakeview resale market in 2024. The City recorded zero condo townhouse sales in the neighbourhood over the year (City of Saskatoon), which reflects a housing stock that leans on apartment-style multi-unit product rather than townhouse rows. Semi-detached product does trade here, with 9 semi-detached sales averaging $340,778 and 7 semi-detached (two-title) closings averaging $281,714 in 2024. If you own a townhouse close to a Lakeview boundary, we work from nearby comparables rather than a thin neighbourhood figure. Current listings are on the Lakeview townhouses for sale page.
Detached houses: the top of the Lakeview market
Detached houses drive the top of the Lakeview market. The City recorded 86 single-family sales in 2024 at an average of $506,201 (City of Saskatoon). Eighty-six detached sales in a single year gives pricing a solid comparable base to work from, with condition, kitchen and bathroom updates, basement development, and lot position relative to a park moving the number more than square footage alone. Active inventory is on the single family homes in Lakeview page.
Whichever of the three you own, the marketing described below is applied to your listing, and the pricing work is done on your specific home or unit rather than a neighbourhood-wide average.
How Your Listing Reaches Lakeview 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 other homes that hit the market in Lakeview the same week. Everything below runs on top of that baseline for every Braaten Group listing in the neighbourhood.
01
Professional Photography
Composed, well-lit interior and exterior images that hold up against the many similarly built homes a buyer will be comparing yours to.
02
Aerial Photos & Video
Drone footage that shows your property in context, whether that is a park pathway, a mature tree canopy, or a south-side street layout that a ground-level shot cannot convey.
03

04
Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp Marketplace
Paid social placements aimed at the buyer segments most likely to shop Lakeview, targeted by age, life stage and search behaviour rather than broadcast to everyone in Saskatoon.
05
YouTube Pre-Roll Advertising

06
Sponsored Google Search

07

Ongoing visibility across apps, Gmail, and other websites so your listing keeps appearing to buyers who viewed it once but have not yet booked a showing.
08
ChatGPT Paid Ads
Sponsored placement inside AI chat tools, reaching buyers, including relocating ones, who are now researching Saskatoon neighbourhoods in conversation rather than on a results page.
Where a Lakeview 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 Lakeview 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 Lakeview 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 Lakeview 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 Lakeview 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 Lakeview Is Not Like Selling Elsewhere in Saskatoon
Lakeview is one of the few established south-side neighbourhoods where condo product is a genuine market of its own. The 83 low-rise apartment condo sales recorded in 2024 make this the deepest single-year apartment condo sample in the batch, and it changes how the neighbourhood should be marketed. A page that treats Lakeview as a detached market with a small condo footnote misses a large share of the actual buyer and seller conversations that happen here.
The 1980s build era is dominant on the detached side, with about 61 per cent of the neighbourhood built between 1981 and 1990 and another 28 per cent through the 1960s and 1970s. That means detached sellers are pricing 35- to 60-year-old homes against very similar-aged comparables, and differentiation comes from what has been done to the property in the years since it was built. On the condo side, the buildings in the neighbourhood span a wider range of vintages, and pricing has to lean on building-specific comparables rather than a neighbourhood-wide average.
Ownership tenure is settled but the neighbourhood carries a meaningful rental component. About 73 per cent of Lakeview dwellings are owner-occupied and 27 per cent are rented, driven largely by the strong apartment condo layer. In practice that means some current condo listings compete against investor-owned turnovers, and a well-prepared owner-occupied unit can separate itself from that backdrop on presentation alone.
Pricing a Lakeview Condo Against Its Building and a Lakeview House Against Its Street
Pricing in Lakeview is really two conversations. For a low-rise apartment condo, the price starts with the building rather than the neighbourhood, because two units in different Lakeview buildings can have very different price paths depending on the reserve fund position, the age of the roof and mechanical systems, the parking arrangement and the outlook. For a detached home, the price starts with the street and the vintage, and gets adjusted for updates, basement development and lot position.
The most recent official pricing data for Lakeview comes from the City of Saskatoon's Neighbourhood Profile and covers the 2024 sales year: 86 single-family homes averaged $506,201, 9 semi-detached sales averaged $340,778, 7 semi-detached (two-title) closings averaged $281,714, and 83 low-rise apartment condos averaged $177,505. Those figures set the tier structure of the neighbourhood but should not be read as a current valuation on any specific address or building.
Citywide context matters too. Saskatoon's overall MLS® benchmark residential price reached a record $448,400 in June 2026 on roughly 1.6 months of inventory, and the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association has flagged the Saskatoon-Biggar region as carrying the tightest housing conditions in the province through the first half of 2026. That backdrop tends to favour prepared sellers citywide, Lakeview included, but it does not replace a proper CMA on your own home or unit.
No listings were found matching your search criteria.
The listings above show current asking prices in Lakeview, not closed sale prices. Closed figures for recent Lakeview sales, along with days on market and any price adjustments, are not published publicly. I bring that side of the comparison to your in-person evaluation so the pricing conversation is grounded in what buyers actually paid, not just what other sellers asked.
Who Is Buying in Lakeview
The City's demographic snapshot points to a genuinely split Lakeview buyer pool. One-family households (1,855) sit ahead of non-family households (820), but the non-family segment is unusually large in absolute numbers for an established south-side neighbourhood, and it lines up with the deep apartment condo layer. Marketing that speaks only to move-up families misses the smaller-household, single-professional and downsizer buyers shopping the condo tier.
Median personal income in Lakeview sits at $48,310 versus $44,650 citywide, closer to the citywide median than the higher-income newer neighbourhoods. Combined with the 73 per cent ownership rate and the strong condo layer, that describes a neighbourhood where the condo tier attracts first-time buyers and downsizers while the detached tier draws established families moving in for the south-side location.
The condo tier and the detached tier trade at very different price bands ($177,505 average for low-rise apartments in 2024 versus $506,201 for detached), so Lakeview effectively has two buyer pools stacked on top of each other. Positioning each listing with its own copy, its own comparables and its own photography priorities produces a cleaner buyer experience than a single generic template.
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.

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 Lakeview sellers, because it measures listing-side production specifically rather than combined buying-and-selling volume.
Because Lakeview is a mixed detached and condo neighbourhood with an established 1980s-heavy detached stock, preparation depends on what you are selling. Before your home or unit goes live, focus on:
For condo owners, ordering and reviewing your condo documents (reserve fund study, bylaws, minutes, recent financials) before listing, since these are the single biggest speed lever at the condo tier.
For detached owners, refreshing kitchen and bathroom finishes that read as original 1970s or 1980s builder-grade next to updated comparables on the same street.
Refinishing or replacing dated flooring, particularly carpet that has been in place for decades in detached homes or original carpet in condo units.
Confirming and documenting furnace, hot-water tank, roof, shingle and window replacements in detached homes, and any in-suite mechanical upgrades in condo units.
For detached homes, refreshing older basement development that reads as dated, since developed lower levels are a common differentiator in the 1980s stock.
For condo owners, confirming parking, storage locker and pet policy in writing before listing, since these show up in buyer questions early.
Decluttering and depersonalising rooms that have been lived in for a long time, so buyers see the space rather than a specific stage of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the City's 2024 average price for Lakeview 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 Lakeview-specific sales, and it covers 86 detached, 9 semi-detached, 7 semi-detached (two-title) and 83 low-rise apartment closings across the 2024 calendar year. Those averages set the tier structure of the neighbourhood, but a current valuation needs to start from recent closed sales on comparable streets or in your building, together with today's citywide backdrop, which includes the record $448,400 MLS® benchmark price Saskatoon posted in June 2026.
How do I make my Lakeview condo stand out when other units in the building look almost identical?
Because condo buildings by design repeat the same floor plans, layout similarity is the norm rather than the exception. The differentiation has to show up inside: updated finishes, thoughtful staging, clean and organised storage, and photography that captures the details of your unit rather than a stock representation of the plan. Clean condo documents also matter, since buyer lawyers reading a well-organised reserve fund study move faster than they do on a messy one.
Should I sell my Lakeview home before buying my next one, or the other way around?
There is no single right answer. Saskatoon sat at roughly 1.6 months of supply as of June 2026 on record-high prices, which means buying first can leave you carrying two properties briefly, and selling first can compress the window to find your next home. For many Lakeview owners the next move is a downsize from a detached home into a condo or a step up from a condo into a detached home, and each pattern can sometimes be sequenced with an extended possession clause. We work through your financing and timeline at the evaluation.
Is selling a condo in Lakeview different from selling a detached home here?
Yes, meaningfully. Low-rise apartment condo sales in Lakeview averaged $177,505 across 83 closings in 2024, compared with $506,201 for the 86 detached sales, so the buyer pool, financing profile and marketing angle are all different. Condo buyers also dig into the building's reserve fund study, bylaws and monthly fee in a way detached buyers rarely do, so that paperwork needs to be pulled and reviewed before listing rather than during the offer.
Does the age of my Lakeview home hurt its resale?
Not on its own. Most Lakeview detached homes are between 35 and 60 years old, so buyers touring the neighbourhood are expecting that age and pricing accordingly. What hurts a resale is when the home reads as original throughout while comparable homes on the same street have all been updated. Selective updates targeted at what buyers notice first (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, windows) tend to earn back more than they cost.
My Lakeview building has a lot of rental units. Does that hurt my resale?
The 27 per cent rented share across the neighbourhood is driven largely by the apartment condo layer, and lender rules on condo financing sometimes tighten in specific buildings with high renter concentrations. In practice that narrows the buyer pool at the margin rather than closing it, and a well-prepared owner-occupied listing tends to separate itself from investor-owned units in the same building on presentation alone. We check the current owner-occupied ratio for your specific building as part of the pricing conversation.
Is a finished basement worth the effort before I list my Lakeview detached home?
Often yes. So many detached homes on the same street share a similar main-floor footprint that developed basement space is one of the clearer differentiators between comparable listings. Whether it is worth doing depends on what shape the basement is in already, your timeline to list, and the cost of finishing to a standard that photographs well and does not raise inspector concerns. This is one of the questions I get into on the walkthrough.
Does listing in spring or summer make a real difference in Lakeview?
It depends on what you are selling. Detached family buyers moving to Lakeview often prefer to close over summer so kids can start the new school year already settled, which adds urgency to spring and early-summer listings on detached streets. The condo tier sees less of that seasonal spike because the buyer pool skews smaller-household and downsizer and is not synchronised to the school calendar. The right listing month depends on your product type and your own timeline.
How long does a well-prepared Lakeview home usually take to sell right now?
Days-on-market depends heavily on price band, product type and how prepared the listing is when it goes live, and the 2026 number keeps moving as inventory shifts, so a single quoted average is 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 Lakeview listings have generally been trading faster than they did a few years ago. I bring current comparables and days-on-market context to the evaluation for your specific product type.
Does having a titled parking stall or storage locker make a difference to my condo price?
It can. Titled parking and titled storage are separately valued line items for a lot of Lakeview condo buyers, and lender rules also treat titled versus leased parking differently in some cases. If you own either, they should be documented clearly in the listing rather than assumed, and if you have more than one, they should be reflected in the price.
Can I get a value on my Lakeview home without committing to list it?
Yes. The evaluation is free, done in person on your property or unit, and comes with no obligation to list. Many Lakeview owners use it to cross-check a portal estimate that looks off, to plan a downsize, or to see whether the equity picture supports a next move before opening a lender conversation. You get a real number based on real comparables and can decide from there.
What's my Lakeview condo worth in 2026?
There is no published 2026 average specific to Lakeview condos, so any honest answer starts with a range and narrows once we look at your building. The most recent official numbers are 2024: low-rise apartment condos at $177,505 across 83 sales. Saskatoon's market has tightened considerably since then, with the citywide MLS® benchmark reaching a record $448,400 in June 2026 on roughly 1.6 months of inventory, and condo product across Saskatoon has moved upward from 2024 levels. Your actual number depends on your floor, exposure, parking, square footage, condo fee, and the financial health of your corporation. I price it against comparable units in your own building and complex, which is the only comparison that genuinely holds up.
