Is there a typical % on waterfront properties in Calgary, or does it vary a lot?
I bought a house in Riverbend last Fall so I can give you a pretty good idea.

The 2-story pink house on the corner of Riverview Court and Riverview Drive (backing onto Carburn) was listed at $600k. It was listed for a while then finally sold so I'm guessing it sold for a bit under that.

A 2-story walkout on my street backing onto the river sold a few months ago for full asking price of $675k.

Most of the newer houses in Riverbend on the West side of 18th street closer to the river and Carburn Park will be late 80's and early 90's houses. Our house is a '94 and probably one of the newest in the community as we're on the South side close to Quarry Park.

The good thing about the community is you can get pretty close to the Bow River and Carburn without actually backing onto it.
