Looks like a nice place. Any idea on condo fees?

240

Doh just realized it was a studio. I'm not sure if Calgary is at that stage yet where a studio makes a good rental property (at least for me).

Hmm, I lived in the Bella Citta building in a 1 bedroom + den from 2005-2008 (~850sf). Impressed that the condo fees for this studio are only at $240, back then my condo fees were $276 a month. Not sure what the studios were at the time, basing it on square footage they were probably close to $171.

My parents lived in this building (also on the top floor) up until last spring. They absolutely loved it; it was really well run, clean, and obviously a fantastic location.

[Travis Munroe]

Price drop!

[Travis Munroe]

Huge price drop to move immediately.

[OMG!WTF!]

What's the price drop? Still says 255k on line.

We lived in an identical (potentially exact same) unit at Bella Citta from 2012-2014. Just rented but I know condo fees were nearly $400/month at that time.

255k is the price drop - from 269,900.

Fingers crossed but this should be conditionally sold by Sunday

[Travis Munroe]

Finally, we are conditionally sold!

There is a car wash in there!? Can you tell the new owners they can find themselves with free beer if they sneak me down there?

[Travis Munroe]

haha - I would give up my buildings pool 10x out of 10 for a small car wash bay!

[Hack&Lube]

I have a car wash bay in my condo but somebody (probably a renter and not an owner) keeps stealing the hoses and damaging the tools. Condo board had to remove it all and now it's bring your own which sucks.

[Travis Munroe]

I wouldn't even care if they stuck a pay machine up and you had to pay to use it (if I had one). The convenience of not waiting in line for 45 minutes or being able to hose the car down on those wet days or wash it when its -30 outside and it never sees the cold until it is dry the following day. The list goes on!
