Selling a New Construction Home Before It Was Completed
This was a repeat client I had worked with on previous real estate transactions in Saskatoon. After a property he owned was lost to a fire, he decided to rebuild the home with the intention of selling it once construction was complete.
I connected him with a trusted local home builder, and we worked together early in the process to establish a construction budget and a plan for the finished home based on what buyers were looking for in that particular Saskatoon neighbourhood. I stayed involved throughout the six-to-eight-month construction process, keeping an eye on the market and preparing for the eventual sale.
Rather than waiting until construction was finished to list the property, we began testing the market approximately one month before completion. That strategy allowed us to find a buyer and secure a sale before the home was finished.
For my client, the timing was important. The new buyer was able to take possession as soon as the home was ready, eliminating the period where my client would otherwise have been carrying the costs and liability of a completed but vacant property. Most importantly, he was happy with both the final sale price and the strategy we used to get there.
What My Client Said
“Scott was fantastic to work with. His knowledge of the area and being able to sell our house before the house was completed. We have worked with Scott on a few projects and has always been upfront with the market and facts. Scott’s contact have been excellent including the contractors that built our home. Highly recommend Scott as your agent and contact for contractors and trades.

Saskatoon Investment Property REALTOR® — Helping an Investor Purchase a Revenue Property
Buying an investment property in Saskatoon requires a different approach than purchasing a primary residence. As a Saskatoon REALTOR® who works with real estate investors, I help clients evaluate revenue properties, understand neighbourhood market conditions and determine a purchase price that makes sense for their investment goals.
In this case, I helped a client purchase a rental property during a competitive Saskatoon real estate market. Before submitting an offer, we analyzed comparable sales, competing properties and local market conditions to determine the right offer price. The goal was to secure the property without unnecessarily overpaying.
Our pricing strategy worked, and my client successfully purchased the investment property at a price he was very happy with.
My involvement continued beyond the accepted offer. I connected him with local home inspectors and contractors to help navigate the purchase and prepare for possession. I also helped create a rental advertisement and identify potential tenants, providing support as he transitioned from purchasing the property to preparing it for rental.
For this client, working with an experienced Saskatoon real estate agent meant having guidance throughout the investment property purchase—not just finding the right property, but evaluating its value, negotiating the purchase and connecting with the people and resources needed to move forward confidently.
What My Client Said
“We had an excellent experience working with Scott Ziegler and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. From start to finish, Scott was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home.
One of Scott’s greatest strengths is his deep understanding of the local market. He guided us carefully through the process of evaluating whether a home was fairly priced or overpriced, which gave us a lot of confidence in our decisions. His advice was always clear, honest, and grounded in experience—never pushy.
Scott also has an outstanding professional network, which he leveraged effectively on our behalf. Through his connections with other realtors, he helped us access opportunities and ultimately secure the home we needed. In addition, his recommendations for related services—such as a home inspector and a real estate lawyer—were excellent and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Scott’s calm approach, responsiveness, and attention to detail made it a positive and reassuring experience. We are very grateful for his support and expertise, and we would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.”
Selling a Saskatoon Home for $25,000 Over Asking
This young Saskatoon family was selling their first home together in the Exhibition neighbourhood while simultaneously purchasing their next home. With the two transactions connected, getting their existing home sold quickly, at the right price and with as much certainty as possible was an important part of making their move work.
The Saskatoon real estate market was also changing. We were transitioning out of a highly competitive spring market where underpricing homes and holding offers had been common. Rather than automatically following that strategy, I analyzed recent sales, active listings and competing properties specifically within Exhibition, the surrounding area and this price range.
The data showed very few comparable homes available—and even fewer with a basement suite. Instead of intentionally pricing the property below market value and delaying offers, we listed it at a price supported by the current market and allowed buyers to submit offers immediately.
The very first showing produced an unconditional cash offer for $25,000 over the asking price.
For my sellers, the result wasn't simply about selling over asking. The condition-free sale gave them the certainty they needed to move forward with the home they were purchasing. It was a good example of why the right Saskatoon home-selling strategy isn't always about following what worked a month or two earlier. Pricing, neighbourhood, competition, timing and current buyer demand all matter.
What My Client Said
“We had a great experience with Scott and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He helped us successfully coordinate a purchase and sale - something I didn’t think would come easily in this market. He goes above and beyond for his clients and we truly appreciate his knowledge and expertise.”
