The condo market continues to have a strong track record in Calgary, so we thought we’d explore the great reasons to purchase a condo. There are many advantages to consider when purchasing a condo for the first time, or simply buying your next one.
“One of the great advantages to owning a condominium is that in most cases, it is owner-occupied and owner run. Owners ensure their investment is maintained and regard improvements as an investment which increases the value of their individual unit.” – RE/MAX Canada
Advantages to going for a condo:
- protection from rent increases
- monthly cost of owning is often less than renting
