Tips for Buying a House for Sale in Canmore.

Buying a house for sale in Canmore can be difficult for the inexperienced buyer. Canmore and Banff boast some of the most competitive and hard to get into markets in Alberta. The average price for a house sits well above the provincial average in Alberta. Thus, making it tough for just anyone to purchase a property. If you are looking for a house for sale in Canmore there are a few things you need to keep in mind. This way, you won’t end up purchasing a home that you later realize is not the right fit for you. Ultimately, we want to ensure that you choose a property that best suits your goals and needs. Follow along below to discover our advice on buying a house for sale in Canmore, Alberta. 

What is Going to Be the Central Use of Your House for Sale in Canmore?

The first step to finding a great property in Canmore is to determine how you will use the home. Canmore is full of breathtaking properties that all offer unique benefits to their owner. Making the decision to purchase a home in such a diverse city is hard when your intentions for the property are unclear. Before you start the hunt for a house for sale in Canmore, picture how you plan to spend your time there. Will it be your primary residence? Or, will it be a vacation property that you visit on occasion? Do you plan on renting out your home to others? If yes, will they be short-term or long-term rental agreements?

There are a number of ways that you can utilize your property. Whichever option you choose will help to narrow down your search. This way, your agent can better help you find the perfect home for your needs. While you determine how you plan on using your home, you may also want to consider your budget, what location you’d like, the size of the home, amenities, etc. All of these things will make it easier for you to find a home you love. 

Choosing the Right Property Type.

Canmore has several different options for housing. From condos and townhomes to luxury multi-story homes, there’s something for everyone. In addition to this, Canmore has many different areas, each with its own set of unique amenities. Choosing the right style of home and the right neighbourhood is essential in buying the perfect home. We recommend visiting/staying in every neighbourhood in Canmore before you decide on “the one”. For instance, if your family wants to be near the river, check out areas like Lions Park or South Canmore. Or, if you’d prefer to be on the lake, visit Rundleview or Peaks of Grassi. Furthermore, there is also the option to be secluded in the mountains with luxury homes on Stone Creek Place or Benchlands Terrace.

Each neighbourhood has its own vibe and sense of community. It is important that you choose the neighbourhood that best suits your interests and needs. Taking the time to explore each area is a great way to find out what you do and don’t like. 

Make Sure the Home is Zoned in Accordance With Your Plans.

Canmore and Banff both have strict zoning laws on all real estate properties. This is to ensure that parklands are protected and a high standard of quality is maintained. There are four zoning categories for residential properties. These include tourist homes, visitor accommodations, and residential and employee housing. If you plan to live on the property and do short-term rentals, you must have a home zoned within ‘tourist’ or ‘visitor accommodation’. These are the only zones where short-term (vacation) rentals are legal. 

Act Fast When Buying a House for Sale in Canmore You Love!

When buying a house for sale in Canmore, it is important that you act fast on properties you love. This means being prepared to write an offer as soon as possible. The demand for homes in Canmore is strong. This is largely due to the limited number of single-family homes within the area. Moreover, houses that are priced in a good range generally don’t spend too long on the market. For out-of-province buyers, this can mean making an offer before being able to see the property in person.
