Free, private, and there is no obligation to list afterward.
Martensville sits directly north of Saskatoon on Highway 12 and has grown into one of the larger commuter cities in the region. That growth changes how a resale listing here needs to be handled, because your buyer pool is a mix of first-time owners priced out of the city, families moving up from a starter home, and Saskatoon workers who want a shorter drive and a full-size lot without paying inner-city prices.
I work as a listing-side REALTOR® based in Saskatoon, and this page is built around Martensville specifically: how the city's housing mix, the pull of the Prairie Spirit School Division, and the daily commuter flow along Highway 12 shape a seller's marketing plan, and how my process puts your property in front of the right buyer rather than everyone browsing the MLS at once.
Selling a Condo, Townhouse, or House in Martensville
Martensville is not a detached-only market. Newer subdivisions along the west and south edges of the city have added meaningful condo and townhouse inventory alongside the traditional single-family stock, and pricing a listing as though only one segment existed leaves money and buyers on the table. Each of the three property types below carries a different buyer profile and a different marketing problem.
Martensville condo value: what actually sets the number
Apartment-style and low-rise condo pricing in Martensville turns on details a general average will never capture: which floor the unit sits on, which direction it faces, whether parking is titled or leased, monthly fees, and how a buyer's lawyer reads the corporation's reserve fund. Rather than lean on a town-wide condo number, I price a unit against comparable units in the same building or complex, which is the only comparison that stands up under a buyer's due diligence.
Martensville townhouse listing agent: how townhomes sell differently here
Townhouses in Martensville tend to attract buyers who want a yard, a garage, and a full-size layout without paying detached prices. Because units inside a complex are often near-identical, a townhouse listing rises or falls on presentation, condition, and how clearly the marketing explains what the condo fee actually covers. That is exactly where photography, floor plans, and a full media package change the offer count.
Detached houses: the top of the Martensville market
Single-family homes are the largest share of Martensville by dollar volume, and they compete most directly with new-build inventory still going up on the city's growing edges. That competition means presentation and reach matter more than they would in a fully built-out neighbourhood. The pricing conversation for a detached listing here starts with recent nearby closings rather than a town-wide average, and the marketing works to separate your home from the show-home traffic across the road.
Whichever segment you own, the marketing plan below is applied to the listing, and the pricing work is done on your specific unit or lot rather than a town-wide average.
How Your Listing Reaches Martensville Buyers
Being on the MLS® is a good start and gets your home into the system every agent and portal pulls from, it does not make your listing stand out from the other similarly styled homes going live the same week. The following is layered on top of every Braaten Group listing in Martensville.

Where a Martensville Listing Actually Gets Seen
A wide marketing plan only helps if the destination it points to has real traffic. Every Century 21 Fusion listing, including yours if you list your Martensville home with me, appears on kentbraaten.com, and the gap between that site and a typical brokerage site is not small.
In plain terms, kentbraaten.com draws about 23 times the monthly site sessions and roughly 79 times the monthly page views of the average Canadian brokerage website. A Martensville listing marketed through this site is reaching a far larger, already-engaged buyer audience than the typical brokerage page ever sees.
Daily Reporting on Your Martensville Listing
Sellers rarely complain about the number itself, they complain about not knowing what is happening between showings. To remove that uncertainty, every listing I take on comes with a live Listing Insights Dashboard built in Google Looker Studio, wired directly into the ad platforms and boards running your campaign.
Sample dashboard shown for illustration only, figures come from a Saskatoon-area listing rather than your Martensville property. Your dashboard reports live numbers for your own address and refreshes daily.
The dashboard tracks paid ad impressions and clicks, social and video post views, MLS® client portal and agent activity, and REALTOR.ca views, saves, and shares, all pulled directly from the platforms themselves rather than compiled after the fact. You get the same data I am looking at, updated daily, without ever needing to call and ask how the listing is doing.
Why Selling in Martensville Is Not Like Selling in Saskatoon
Saskatoon buyers who cross the north edge of the city into Martensville are usually chasing something specific: a larger lot, a newer build, a quieter street, or all three. That means a Martensville listing is not competing against every home in the metro area, it is competing against the other Martensville homes and a handful of similar options in Warman and the nearby subdivisions along Highway 12.
New construction is the other big difference. Martensville has active builders working on both single-family and multi-family parcels, so a resale seller can end up marketed alongside a show home with brand-new finishes and a builder incentive attached. That is a different kind of pressure than a fully built-out Saskatoon neighbourhood puts on a listing, and it needs to be priced and positioned around rather than ignored.
School catchment matters more here than in most Saskatoon neighbourhoods too. Prairie Spirit School Division serves the city, and buyers with school-aged children often shortlist homes based on the walk to the local school as much as square footage or finishes. Marketing that names the division and the family-friendly street context earns a longer look from those buyers.
Finally, Martensville is a commuter market. A meaningful share of any listing's buyer pool is driving in from Saskatoon jobs, which means listing photography, video, and copy have to answer the commute question directly: how the property sits relative to Highway 12, how the yard and garage work for a two-vehicle household, and how the neighbourhood feels on a weeknight rather than a Saturday afternoon.
Pricing a Home in Martensville Realistically
A comparative market analysis in Martensville has to look past bedroom count and square footage and into the details that actually separate one listing from the next: builder, year built, basement development, garage configuration, lot position on the block, and how recently the kitchen or main bath were refreshed. Those differences carry real weight here because a lot of the housing stock was built by a small group of builders inside a fairly narrow window of years.
Region-wide benchmark prices from the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association apply to the Saskatoon-Biggar region as a whole, not to Martensville on its own, so quoting a Region number as your home's value is misleading. The honest starting point is what has actually closed in Martensville and the immediately surrounding area in the past few months, adjusted for the specific features of your property.
I bring that closed-sale side of the picture, which is not published on the public listing sites, to your in-person evaluation, along with a short view of what your home would be sitting beside on the MLS the week it goes live.
These are asking prices, not closed sale prices, and they are only half the picture. What a home in Martensville finally sells for depends on its condition, finishes, basement development, garage or shop, and exact position in town or on the parcel. I bring the closed-sale side of that comparison, the numbers that are not published publicly, to your in-person evaluation.
Who Is Buying in Martensville
The typical Martensville buyer falls into one of a few groups: first-time buyers priced out of Saskatoon looking for a full-size lot, growing families upsizing from a starter home, and Saskatoon workers who want a shorter drive than the far ends of the city and are willing to trade a couple of Highway 12 minutes for more house per dollar.
Family buyers weight things like a fenced yard, a double garage, a functional mudroom, and proximity to Prairie Spirit School Division schools more heavily than they would inside the city. Photography, staging, and copy that speak to a family unit rather than a couple or a single professional tend to earn longer showings and stronger offers here.
There is also a smaller but active downsizer pool, mostly long-time Martensville and area residents moving from a larger home on a big lot to a newer bungalow, townhouse, or condo in town. Those buyers know the market well and will notice deferred maintenance quickly, which is why preparation before listing matters more than any single marketing tactic.
Knowing which pool your specific listing competes in shapes not just the list price but the entire marketing angle. A townhouse aimed at a first-time buyer is not marketed the same way as a detached home aimed at a Saskatoon commuter family.
What Sellers Say About Working With Kent
The quotes below are from Kent's clients across the greater Saskatoon area rather than from Martensville specifically. They reflect how the listing process, marketing, and reporting actually feel to a seller from first conversation to closing.
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.
101216879 Sask Ltd. — investment property seller
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.
Dustin Ratzlaff — relocated out of province
Awards and Recognition
None of these replace a good comparative market analysis, but they reflect a track record built over many closings rather than a single strong year.

The Centurion Producer award has been earned three times, the Masters Award eleven times, and in 2019 the Top Listing Agent title at Century 21 Fusion specifically recognized listing-side production, the side of the business that determines how well a seller's home is marketed and priced.
Because a lot of Martensville homes were built to similar builder specifications inside a narrow age range, preparation here is less about hiding age and more about standing apart from homes that still carry original, builder-grade finishes. Before your home goes live, focus on:
Refreshing obvious builder-grade fixtures (lighting, cabinet hardware, faucets, front-door hardware) that read as original next to updated comparable listings.
Yard and landscaping presentation, since a well-kept lawn and defined garden beds photograph as maintained rather than tired, which matters for family buyers.
Benchmarking your presentation against active builder show homes in Martensville, because a Saskatoon buyer touring your street will often stop at a show home the same afternoon.
Finishing or upgrading basement space where it is unfinished, since basement development is one of the clearer differentiators among similar floor plans in this market.
Decluttering and depersonalising so the layout reads as spacious in photos and during showings.
Addressing small deferred maintenance items (caulking, paint touch-ups, sticking doors, weather-stripping) before photography rather than during the inspection period.
Gathering documentation: appliance manuals, permits for any basement or garage work, remaining new home warranty paperwork, and utility bills for a full calendar year.
The Listing Process, Step by Step
Initial conversation: your timeline, your reason for selling, and what a successful outcome looks like for you.
Comparative market analysis: a pricing walkthrough built on recent Martensville and area sold data, weighted to properties comparable to yours.

Launch: MLS®, kentbraaten.com, signage, and paid promotion all go live together.
Showings and feedback: coordinated access with honest reporting on what buyers are saying.
Offer review: price, conditions, deposit, financing, and closing date evaluated together, with a clear recommendation from me.
Conditions through closing: inspection, financing, and lawyer coordination managed to keys-in-hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Saskatoon buyers still driving out to Martensville for a home?
Yes. Martensville sits directly north of Saskatoon on Highway 12, and its buyer pool has been dominated by Saskatoon commuters for years. For a working buyer who wants a larger lot, a newer build, or more square footage per dollar, the drive down Highway 12 is a normal daily trip rather than an obstacle. The commute question does need to be answered in the listing itself though, with photography and copy that show how the home fits a two-vehicle household and what the neighbourhood feels like on a weeknight.
How does Martensville pricing compare to Saskatoon pricing?
That comparison is exactly why an accurate CMA matters. Region-wide benchmark prices published by the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association cover the Saskatoon-Biggar region as a whole and do not apply cleanly to Martensville. Pricing your specific home starts from what has actually closed in Martensville and the immediately surrounding area over the past few months, adjusted for lot, build year, finishes, and basement development. A Saskatoon average is not a Martensville average, and treating it as one usually leads to a listing that either sits too long or gives up money on day one.
Will my home be competing with new construction in Martensville?
Often, yes. Martensville has active builders working on both single-family and multi-family parcels, and a resale seller here can end up marketed alongside a builder's show home with brand-new finishes and an incentive attached. Rather than pretend the competition is not there, we account for it directly in how we price, stage, and market your home, and we use presentation to highlight what a resale property offers that a spec home cannot: an established yard, known utility costs, and quicker possession.
Is selling a condo or townhouse in Martensville different from selling a detached home?
Yes. Condo and townhouse buyers care about the specific building or complex in a way detached buyers do not, so condo documents, reserve fund health, bylaws, and monthly fee history need to be ready before the listing goes live rather than gathered during conditions. The buyer pool is also different: townhouses and condos in Martensville tend to draw first-time and downsizer buyers, while detached homes draw families and Saskatoon-commuter households, so the marketing angle changes with the property type.
Does the school catchment in Martensville affect how I should list?
It can. Martensville schools sit inside the Prairie Spirit School Division, and family buyers often shortlist homes based on walking distance to a specific school. If your home is inside a good walkable catchment, that is worth highlighting in the listing copy and, if timing allows, in the season you launch. Families weighing a move tied to the school year often prefer to close in summer so the kids can start the next year already settled, which can add urgency to spring and early-summer listings.
Should I sell my Martensville home before buying my next one, or the other way around?
There is no single right answer. Buying first can mean carrying two properties briefly if the sale takes longer than expected, and selling first can compress your window to find the next home. The right call depends on your financing, your risk tolerance, current inventory in the price bracket you are buying into, and how motivated you are to buy versus sell first. It is worth walking through the specific scenario together rather than defaulting to a rule of thumb.
Does the time of year I list actually matter in Martensville?
It shifts the buyer mix rather than making or breaking a sale. Spring and early summer bring more family buyers moving in time for the school year, while fall and winter tend to bring more serious, less speculative buyers who are moving for a specific reason. A well-prepared listing sells in every season, but the marketing emphasis (yard, gardens, natural light) does change depending on when the property goes live.
How do I stand out when the house next door was built by the same builder?
Interior detail work does most of that job. Because a large share of Martensville homes were built by a small group of builders in a fairly narrow age range, exterior similarity is common. Updated finishes, a finished basement, clean and consistent staging, and photography that highlights what your home has that a near-identical layout down the street does not are what separate one listing from the next in a market like this.
My Martensville home still has new home warranty coverage, does that help when I list?
It can reassure buyers, particularly on homes only a few years old, since remaining structural and major-system warranty coverage often transfers to the new owner depending on the builder's terms. Have your warranty paperwork ready so it can be referenced accurately in the listing rather than described in vague terms, and so a buyer's lawyer can confirm what carries forward.
Can I get a value on my Martensville home without committing to list?
Yes. A free evaluation gives you a current, comparable-based number for planning, refinancing, an estate matter, or simple curiosity, with no obligation and no cost. It is a walkthrough and a written summary, not a sales pitch.
What is my Martensville home worth in 2026?
There is no published 2026 average specific to Martensville, so any honest answer starts with a range and narrows from there once I see the property. Region-wide benchmark prices from the Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association apply to the Saskatoon-Biggar region as a whole rather than to Martensville on its own. A real number depends on your build year, lot, basement development, garage, condition, and how your home compares to what has actually closed in Martensville and the immediately surrounding area over the past few months. That work happens at the in-person evaluation.
