The action
The owners of this three-bedroom house slowly prepared it for sale over a period of two years. Personal circumstances and market conditions aligned this summer, and it was put up for sale after the end of the Stampede in July.
“It’s a stunning home, but the sellers did a wonderful job on the presentation of it,” said agent Steven Hill.
“For 10 days, the city is very focused on the Calgary Stampede, so we waited until it was over, and the city was more or less back to normal, which proved to be critical when we entered the market.”
There were few comparable properties at its price point and it roped in an offer within 48 hours just shy of the asking price.
“It sold to the first person who came in the door,” said Mr. Hill.
“There was a house across the street for sale – a similar, two-storey house – but it had been on the market for a while at $2.2-million.”

The agent’s take
“This area in Calgary is one of the most sought-after areas with gorgeous, executive, high-quality homes,” said Mr. Hill.
“This was done to such a high level, like every bedroom had a walk-in closet with tube skylights, and the oversized garage had epoxy floors with a heating system in it.”
