There’s a rising trend in women who live alone browsing ads for Calgary condos for sale. More women are buying condos nowadays for a variety of reasons and it could have a big impact on the growth in the condo market. According to the Financial Post this segment of the population is an exploding growth area in major Canadian cities like Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto. Many women who look at Calgary condos for sale are doing it for a variety of benefits, including:
Lack of Maintenance in a Condo vs. a House
No worries about shoveling snow, mowing grass, or dealing with exterior maintenance of any sort. While there are condo fees to pay, these can vary and could be well worth the time and effort spent on maintenance and landscaping.
Security Features of Condos
Living alone in a Calgary condo can feel a lot safer than living in a house. While there are some great safe neighbourhoods in Calgary, having a security system and / or a security guard can put you more at ease, particularly if you’re a single female. Most condominiums have security features that are very appealing to people, especially women, who live alone who won’t have to contend with door-to-door canvassers or uninvited guests.
Getting on the Calgary Property Ladder with a Condominium
A condo is a great way to get onto the property ladder instead of paying rent and lining someone else’s pocket. Some experts say that the condo market shows no signs of really slowing down so it could be a great investment. Looking at Calgary downtown condos for sale could be more costly than the outskirts, of course, but you could get a great return on your investment when you list your condo for sale. Calgary residents are also increasingly buying more than one property and renting out their Calgary condo. Calgary downtown condos for sale often sell very quickly and the right timing could mean a tidy profit for you.
Additional Amenities
Having access to a swimming pool (that you don’t have to maintain yourself), a gym (saving you hundreds of dollars per year on your gym membership) and other common condominium amenities is another draw for many who aren’t in a position to purchase a home with these same features.
