The action
The home’s magnificent views were the undisputed main draw.Royal LePage Solutions
This three-storey house at the Silvertip Resort in Canmore outside Banff National Park was put up for sale at an asking price of $1,448,550 in late March. Within a week, 15 buyers explored the property, many of whom were seeking a weekend retreat or future retirement spot. One bidder came forward offering full price.
“It’s a special property and a special location,” said agent Drew Betts.
“Our market – and across Canada – has been incredibly active and challenging for buyers, so we’re seeing shorter times on market, such as this, from zero to two weeks tending to be the norm.”

The agent’s take

“The majority of the units in the complex are these larger ones,” Mr. Betts said.
The best feature “is the amount of light in there and vaulted ceilings, so you were able to capture views on both sides.”
The home’s magnificent views were the undisputed main draw. “You have both the south-facing, Three Sisters views, along with facing the Silvertip golf course on the other side,” Mr. Betts said.
“It actually backs onto the tee boxes on the number one hole.”
