The action
Done Deal, 8880 Horton Rd., S.W., No. 906, CalgaryeXp Realty
In one of two condo towers adjoining the Shops at Heritage off Macleod Trail, this one-bedroom unit with a den was on track to sell quickly, with tours requested each week and offers registered before and after the new year. The second one withstood close scrutiny by the seller and was settled within $10,000 of the unit’s $275,000 price.
“November/December before Christmas/New Year is typically when things really slow down [because] people aren’t really looking,” said agent Cole La Valley.
“There were lots of other listings as well at the time, however, with the activity we had, we were able to get it sold and at a price my client wanted.”
The winter sale was partially fuelled by a mundane asset: a new boiler. “My client paid to have the boiler upgraded for about $7,000,” Mr. La Valley said.
“Other units didn’t have that done, so the buyer liked and appreciated that.”
What they got

In a 14-year-old building known as London at Heritage Station, this 711-square-foot unit has nine-foot ceilings and south-facing windows in the bedroom and living room, which also opens to a balcony.
Arranged closer to the entrance is a den and a kitchen with granite countertops, cherry cabinetry and new stainless-steel appliances, as well as a four-piece bathroom and laundry facilities.
Monthly fees are $407. They pay for 24-hour security use of a building library and a rooftop terrace.
Parking is unassigned in a parkade linked to the plaza, which is anchored by a major grocer, restaurants, shops and medical offices.

“It’s a nice property and has really nice views,” said Mr. La Valley.
“It was for people wanting a luxury unit but not needing to be close to downtown.”
