I talk a lot about the detached home market in Calgary, and how remarkably well its doing, but our city’s condo market is also on fire right now. The Herald reported recently that new condo sales are near the records set in 2005 – when prices were significantly lower – as people look to live closer to the action of our downtown core.

Condos have a lot of great benefits for the right homebuyer. First, you get the financial advantages of owning a home with a lot of the mitigated responsibilities (for things like shoveling snow, replacing the roof, and so on) that go along with renting. Second, singles may feel a greater sense of security living in a highrise condo building, surrounded by helpful neighbours and with a monitored entrance, rather than in a big suburban home. Third, a major element of the condo lifestyle is living with less stuff: you just plain don’t have the room to store a pile of collectables, and so you learn to live with less.

It’s not for everyone, of course, and it does have risks: a poorly managed condo board can leave maintenance undone, for example, leading to major repairs paid for out of residents’ pockets. For those who do their research and know what they’re getting into, though, condos hold a lot of value and appeal. If you think you might like getting into the condo market, give me a call or visit my web page to view those I currently have listed.

One owner home, this is a rarity! Seldom does a condominium of this type come on the market. Two very large bedrooms each with a private bathroom. Both baths have double sinks, one has a steam shower and the other has a soaker tub/shower. This corner unit has extra windows and lots of light. Patio doors with a hidden screen door lead to a curved private balcony. This home features a unique built in computer station with shelves and drawers. When not in use you do not even know it is there! All kitchen appliances stay and the washer and dryer are included. Hunter Douglas shades, in floor heating and brand new paint finish off the interior. Two assigned parking stalls which are beside each other and close to the elevator plus an assigned storage locker. The amenities such as a pool, exercise room, treed grounds, close to bus routes with Marda Loop and Garrison Woods shops and restaurants close by really set this home apart from others. Vacant and ready for you! Act quickly as this one will not last.

I mentioned this in a previous post, but it bears repeating: the Alberta government is seeking public input on ways the Condominium Property Act can be improved through a survey available until May 2. As was discussed in the Calgary Herald on Tuesday, plenty of people have had less than stellar experiences with condo boards, builders, contractors, and the like (although many, many more have never had a problem with their condo or condo board), and there may be ways the Condominium Property Act can be updated to better reflect current realities. It’s been 13 years since the Act was last revised; in that time, tens of thousands of units have been built and their average price has tripled. Our market’s not the same as it was in Y2K – help the government figure out what’s changed, and make things better for buyers, sellers, and builders alike.

Apartment Style Low Rise Condominium

Superb value here. Why rent? Seriously, with 20% down your mortgage payments would be just $667 per month (at 3.09%). This could also make an excellent investment opportunity. This foundation-level apartment is not on the Elbow Drive side, but on the quiet back side with north and west exposures. Bright spacious interior with big windows that have recently had security window film installed ($1,500 value). The kitchen has been updated too. The condo board is active, and has recently freshened the exterior with new windows and siding, and is in the midst of renovating the interior with new doors, carpet, and paint. Just a short 10 minute walk to the train station, and only 20 minutes to downtown during rush hour (train or car). Near all major amenities, including groceries and Chinook mall.
