It's a tough question for sure. Buying detached is out of the question; it's for my mother once my parents' house is sold and they go their own ways.
I should probably correct myself, the condo is in Kincora along Shaganappi across from the Walmart; I don't know why I said Sage Hill
The builders are literally the only one in the area that uses underfloor heating vs radiator. Material construction appears similar to other builders in area.
The building/unit won't be finished until November 2020.
Base price of the unit is $214k. We have a list of roughly $13000 in upgrades that we'd like to do. At first, we were thinking that if they did them for free, it'd be a pretty sweet deal but now it seems there might be a better buying opportunity in the near future.
The only problem is that there are several selling features:
- Underground parking
- Underfloor heating in the unit
- On the top floor
- Adult-only building.
- South facing
I don't have much experience with purchasing property but I feel like condo units with the right specifications are a bit more difficult to find than cars. Perhaps I am wrong and someone could correct my perspective.
The head office seems adamant that they won't go below the base price but we just don't want to be caught with a huge drop in pricing after buying. The office emailed us and said they had already pre-approved a $3000 reduction which in my estimation was a pretty weak attempt at soliciting business in this climate.
