Clark Dziadyk - Realtor of the Ravenswood Acreage Project

Build Your Castle

Ravenswood Estates is a rural acreage lifestyle combined with the convenience of city living, located south of Saskatoon along Clarence Avenue. Many amenities from grocery stores to physicians are just a 5-minute drive away.


Space to Grow

LOTS AVERAGE 2.5 ACRES, MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR QUIET SEPARATION

Imagine building your home on land equivalent to 20 city lots (50 ft. x 110 ft.) linked in a row—which is more than enough to provide quiet separation from your neighbours. Enjoy fresh and bountiful vegetables from an expansive garden, set up a trampoline for the kids, all while still leaving you enough space for a heated shop.


Water, Energy, Power

UTILITIES INCLUDE: CITY TREATED WATER, SASKENERGY, AND SASKPOWER

Every lot has access to Saskatoon’s treated water, which has been dubbed one of the safest water supplies in North America. SaskEnergy provides natural gas lines so you can barbecue or hook up a fire table without the hassle of propane tanks. SaskPower is also available to help create the SmartHome of your dreams.


Abundance of Trees

MATURE TREES OFFER YOU THE BEST NATURAL PRIVACY

The rolling topography, along with mature trees, and plentiful flora grow throughout the area to provide you with natural home privacy. Being out of the city also means no light pollution — spend your nights star-gazing at the vast Milky Way from the comfort of your hot tub.


Closer to Nature

WITNESS NATURE FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR LIVING ROOM

Nature is at your doorstep, literally. Through your front window, you will be able to enjoy a variety of birds and wildlife that wanders through the lots from time to time like rabbits deer fox or even the odd moose.


High-Speed Internet

RELIABLE & CONSISTENT CONNECTION
Planning on a home office? Ravenswood Estates provides high-speed fiber optics internet to each site, where you will receive the same (or better) speeds as those available in the city.


Paved Roadways

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Marla Janzen Shares Her Home Maintenance Tips For February

She loves what she does and takes great pride in providing excellence in customer service to all of her clients. 

Marla Janzen is a  TRUSTED SASKATOON REAL ESTATE AGENT and she is eager to provide Trusted Saskatoon real estate Tips that help the public! In her latest tip, she shares some helpful information and advice about maintaining your home in February in Saskatchewan! 



 Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Marla Janzen Shares Expert Advice About Home Maintenance You Should Do In February.  


Winter in Saskatchewan can be extremely damaging to your home’s health. Temperature drops and high winds can put a strain on both the interior and exterior. During these bitterly cold days, it’s easy to fantasize about warmer climates.  


While you wait for warmer weather, use the next few weeks to complete some household maintenance tasks.


1. Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors – Change the batteries in all smoke alarms twice a year or follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for changing the battery. Every two years, take the cover off, clean it with a damp cloth, and carefully vacuum the inside of the alarm. All smoke alarms have an expiration date.

2. Check gutters and roof for ice dams and icicles – Ice dams and icicles form when melting snow re-freezes at the roofline of your home. If left unchecked, ice dams can become large enough to prevent water from draining off the roof, resulting in roof leaks. Keep your gutters clean, your downspouts functional, and your attic well insulated to avoid this potentially costly repair.

3. Have heavy snow cleared off of your roof and ensure snow is removed from around exterior walls – A significant accumulation of snow on your roof can cause a slew of issues and endanger the structural integrity of your home. While our roofs are built to withstand the elements, they require regular maintenance to remain durable winter after winter.

4. Check for drafts around doors and windows – Keeping your home free of drafts will help keep interior temperatures where you want them without taxing your heating system.

5. On warm days keep eaves trough spouts down for proper drainage – Gutters and downspouts are essential parts of a home’s exterior, but if they aren’t installed or maintained properly, they can cause problems. Keep your gutters clean. The most common drainage problem is overflowing gutters. Everything from balls, and dead squirrels to bird nests to sticks, leaves, and debris piling up will then develop a cover over the leader drain, causing the gutter to overflow.


Marla Janzen has a keen eye for house layout and home staging, which really benefits her clients, most of whom are past client referrals! She guarantees to provide you with a stress-free, hassle-free, wonderful experience and we are sure once you have met her that you will not contact anyone else!

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Marla Janzen Answers The Question: What If My Offer Is Rejected?

As an award-winning SASKATOON REAL Estate agent, Marla Janzen knows the city and surrounding area extremely well. She strives to find her clients the perfect new place to live while negotiating the best terms and price possible. She has a keen eye for house layout and home staging, which really benefits her clients, most of whom are past client referrals! In her latest Saskatoon real estate tip, Marla answers a frequently asked question: what if my offer is rejected? 

Real Estate FAQ - What If My Offer Is Rejected?

Sellers can flat-out accept or reject an initial offer, but there is a third path that is quite common - sellers can initiate a counteroffer.

Remember this: a deal isn’t dead until it’s dead. So, if a counteroffer is offered by the seller, you’re still in the game. You and your agent just need to review it and determine whether it’s acceptable. If so, then approving it closes the deal immediately.

Keep in mind, offers and counteroffers can go back-and-forth many times; this is not unusual and negotiations are a part of what realtors do as a matter of routine. Each revision should bring both parties closer together on the terms of the deal.

These are the types of tips that Marla can provide to a home buyer as a realtor! Get in contact with her if you’d like to learn more.

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Kari Calder Shares Simple Pre-Sale Fixes That Won't Break The Bank

The decision to purchase your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make, and will also be one of your largest investments. Done right, it can also be one of the most exciting and fulfilling times in your life! Kari Calder, a Saskatoon Realtor with Century 21 Fusion, is there to help you through the process and provide you and your family with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have a realtor working with your best interests in mind.

Simple Pre-Sale Fixes That Won't Break The Bank

Selling your home? It’s hard to get motivated to spend money on fixing up your house just so someone else can enjoy it. I understand. It feels like a waste of time/energy/money however easy fixes may be the difference between a higher offer or even an offer at all. Here are a few simple fixes you can do all for under $500.

1. Making the buyer feel at home: $0

This one is easy and costs nothing! Create a clean palate for your potential buyers by decluttering the house, packing up pictures, and making the house shine.

2. Fresh coat of paint: $200

Paint and supplies will be the majority of your costs here and save by doing the work yourself. Paint is the quickest way to transform your space and make it neutral. Don’t forget to touch up the trim while you’re at it.

3. Curb appeal boost: $50

First impressions are crucial to getting potential buyers through the door. Save money by borrowing a pressure washer and freshening up the landscaping with free/inexpensive mulch. Simple additions like potted flowers in the entryway, a new welcome mat and a bold colour on the door will make a big difference without breaking the bank.

4. Comfort is key: $50

Making your buyers feel at home and ensuring the living room is cozy is key. Add brightly coloured and fun patterned pillows, a soft throw, and some baskets for storage to help achieve this.

5. Update the kitchen: $75

No, you don’t want to redo your kitchen to sell but updating the hardware will go a long way. Also think about adding a vase of fresh-cut flowers, a bowl of fruit, or bright kitchen towels to help dress up the space.

6. Bedroom retreat: $100

Everyone wants to have a place to relax at the end of the day, so why not show off your master bedroom? Go for comfy modern bedding, throw pillows, and new lamp shades to help show buyers just how relaxing the space can be.

7. Squeaky clean: $25

Scrub the bathrooms well and replace the towels and shower curtain liners. Buy pretty soaps and add a few candles to create an atmosphere.

If you need help figuring out where to spend your money on pre-sale renos, a professional like myself can help prioritize items and can keep you from spending money unnecessarily.
