The Action
After five months on the market, new agents were brought in to relisted the propterty at a price below $1-million.Sotheby’s International Realty Canada
In Canmore, the resort town outside Banff National Park, it took about a year to find a buyer for this foothills townhouse.
The unit had sat on the market for five months last year with an asking price of $1.099-million. New agents were brought on this May. They shot new photography and cut the price below $1-million.
“One reason we priced it just below $1-million was because of the pandemic," agent Christopher Vincent said. “At that time of the year sales had not rebounded yet as they did in July and August.”
Mr. Vincent said the top-quality photography and virtual tour materials online allowed potential Calgary-based buyers to view the listing "from the comfort of their home, and if they really wanted to buy it, they would make the trip up to Canmore.”

The agent’s take
Sotheby’s International Realty Canada
“It’s at the end of a quiet road with big south-facing views and it’s super quiet,” Mr. Vincent said.
“This is probably the nicest of the townhome units in terms of finishings and it has lots of parking."
