Where to begin with this house. There are so many unique features that you are absolutely going to love. The community, number one, is absolutely gorgeous. Within walking distance to school and a beautiful park to mosey through with your dog or with your loved one.
This house has four bedrooms, three full baths, a double attached garage, and a separate entrance to a lower level suite should you want a little mortgage helper and rent out the lower level. I'm going to say it is an illegal suite, meaning it is not registered with the city of Calgary, however take a look at the video, a very comfortable living space.
Citadel is in the northwest quadrant of the city of Calgary. It is in close proximity to Stony Trail and Country Hills Boulevard. Without all the traffic noise. You could literally walk to the Super Store or go for a little pizza for dinner. The amenities are abundant in this community and yes there's even a Costco!
Check out the full listing of details and call your favourite REALTOR today. This house will not last.

Sellers’ market conditions continue to impact prices | Calgary Living |
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Thanks to persistently strong sales, inventory levels in the city eased to 2,620 units, the lowest levels seen since 2006. This caused the months of supply to remain exceptionally low for this time of year at 1.3 months.
The tight market conditions contributed to further upward pressure on prices. The unadjusted benchmark price in January reached $472,300, a monthly gain of nearly two per cent and a year-over-year gain of 12 per cent.
“Expected gains in lending rates are contributing to persistently strong demand in the housing market, as purchasers are eager to get ahead of any increases,” said CREB® Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “We did see more listings this month, but it did little to change the market balance or take any pressure off prices. This was expected, as these conditions should persist for several more months.”
There were 2,009 sales in January, well below record levels. At the same time, 2,476 new listings came onto the market, resulting in a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 81 per cent. This is far higher than levels traditionally recorded in January.

Don't get caught off-guard when you are ready to make a move. A Real Property Report (RPR) is part of the sales contract and needs to be compliant with the City of Calgary guidelines.
This is a brief outline on the RPR - why it's important - the process to getting a survey and the compliance stamp from the City - a few snags & tips you may run into along the way
Always consult your team of advisors when making a real estate purchase. You need to inform yourself - after all you are making a big decision and spending a lot of money.
