FS: 1800 Sq Ft Inglewood Home Facing The Wildlands Park - Walk to Flames Games!

[cmyden]

UPDATED: December 10th, 2008 - Massive price drop!

NEW PRICE: $319,900
(78% of city assessed value, my attempt to be the most aggressively priced inner city townhouse in Calgary!)

NOTE: This will be going up on MLS tomorrow

Dec 10:
This past August I tried to sell it myself without an agent, by having it placed on MLS for a flat fee. Well, the market slowed to a crawl, and the reality is, only a handful of townhouses sold in the inner city in October/November.

So, it seems to me, the only places that are going to sell are the ones being very aggressive with their price. I signed with a realtor, who sent me the listing prices of all inner city townhouses between 1100-1300 square feet.

After looking at those numbers, I came up with what I feel will be the most aggressively priced townhouse on the market, and will be listed at 78% of it's city assessed value, which is $410,500. (The next most aggressively priced townhouse is 85%, and most of them are around 90-92%).

I'm hoping this new price, combined with the pool table/home theater package, will attract a lot of buyers, most of whom are looking for that great bargain out there, and rightfully so.

If you have any questions about the place, the area, or would like to come check the place out, just give me a shout.

- Vacuuflow, wired for security, this place has it all, believe me.

OTHER THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE:

- It's in Inglewood! And just the right distance from all the shops, restaurants, etc. It's also in what I consider to be the nicest section of this great community (school, bird sanctuary, golf course, bow river, and the perfect distance from downtown in my opinion)

- Tennis court at the end of the street. Bow River bike path system at your doorstep!

- It's quiet! You won't believe this kind of natural setting exists in the inner city.

- Access to Deerfoot is a snap. Exit garage, make 2 right turns, drive 1/2km, and you're on Deerfoot.

- 10 minute access to downtown! Look at the location on Google Maps, it's just the right distance from everything!

I was using them as negotiating chips before, but now make me an offer and I'll include...

Home theatre projection system (high def), calibrated for perfection!

Home theatre screen

Speakers (5.1) / Sub / Amp

Custom made pool table

and remember, I can make a true FSBO deal (price flexibility!) because I paid a flat fee to be on MLS.

Or you can bring your agent, and they will receive their standard commission.

how is the traffic around there? Do you have troubles getting there at during rush hours? I always see the biggest line of cars on blackfoot in the afternoons. Does this cause you a problem?

Looks nice, I might stop by this sunday. thanks

[Salt Water Cowboy #10]

are pets allowed or is it that you don't have any?

[cmyden]

Hi Salt Water Cowboy,

If you look at the map below, during rush hour you obviously get traffic on 9th Avenue, coming from downtown. It usually moves at a decent pace and pretty much every car is heading to 19th street so they can turn left and get to Deerfoot.

I know Blackfoot can be fairly slow going during rush hour, and if I'm coming that way, I usually turn off at Alyth road. The only time I'm coming home on Blackfoot during rush hour is when I go to the gym (Lindsay Park/Talisman Centre). If I do this, it probably takes about 15-20 minutes, as opposed to the 7 or 8 minutes it takes me when there's no traffic.

The other option that people sometimes forget about is that you can take Memorial out of downtown, and go across the Zoo bridge into Inglewood.

I really like this part of Inglewood because you're so isolated from the traffic. As you can see on the map there's nowhere for anyone to cut through, they'll either hit the river or the wildlands park/bird sanctuary. This area is extremely quiet and has very few cars. You'll only see traffic from people who live here. However, when you want access to Deerfoot, it's a simple matter of turning right on 19th street and driving across the river, very convenient.




Regarding the pets, I don't have any, but pets are allowed as long as they are under a certain weight, I think it's 30 or 40 pounds? Basically, no large dogs, just small to medium sized ones.

Many people in the complex have dogs, as Inglewood is probably one of the most dog friendly communities, especially in the inner city.

If you'd like to come check the place out, or have any other questions, just let me know, it's available for viewing any time.

UPDATED DEC 10th: Massive price drop! (see first post)

[jjbouma]

If only this wasn't in the spring, then I'd definitely be interested... nice looking place though.

[cmyden]

Thanks jjbouma! Not sure I quite understand what you mean by 'If only this wasn't in the spring' ? It's still fall where I am

Or maybe you meant if only it *was* in the spring?

[jjbouma]

Haha yep that's what I meant! All this studying for exams is making me go a little crazy!

Scary how much you dropped the price, looks like a nice place.

One thing though...that looks like a long walk to the Dome...you must be in good shape

[cmyden]

Hi T@T,

Yes, believe me, dropping $60 grand is not an easy pill to swallow. I felt it needed to be done though, my girlfriend and I have been waiting for over a year to move in together. We've been dating for 5 years, and she has a place to sell as well. The goal is to start shopping for a house together by spring. Ah, commitment.

I'll admit, I've only walked it a few times to the 'dome, when it's been nice out. I won't be trying it tonight though, that's for sure, supposed to get *very* cold tonight.

Very nice place and an excellent price. If I was in the market I would be all over it. Best of luck with your sale.

Thanks Flames Fan! My realtor has actually received 3 calls about showings already, which is pretty great, considering the market right now.

[cmyden]

My realtor just called and told me that I received an offer today.

Not trying to apply any 'fake pressure' or anything, just the truth.

If anyone out there is kinda-sort-maybe considering taking a look, now would be the time.

Most people say 'It looks like a really nice place!' based on the pictures, and the ones that have taken a look say 'The pictures don't do it justice!'

It's a great place, and a great price, so any fence-sitters out there, give me a shout!

awesome news, Chris.
I showed your home to my wife. She loved it but we aren't planning a move back to Calgary anytime soon. I hope you get close to what you want.

My roommates Dad just purchased this place. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Congrats on the sale and the place looks great. One question, is the projector HD?
