About a dozen investors, all looking for either duplexes or fourplexes in the neighbourhood between Nose Hill Park and Calgary International Airport, all showed interest in this pair of attached houses on a 56- by 134-foot lot.
Within a few days, five parties made low offers, likely factoring in future renovation costs.
'A lot of people like to own fourplexes, and since this one had nice main floors, it would be easy to put separate entrances to the basements,' said agent Bryon Howard.
'We were a little high in terms of the list price, but because there was such small, active competition, we thought someone might want this and give us their best offer.'
For the long-time owners, the number they wanted was $880,000 – without strings attached.
The owner of a similar property had been less fortunate. Their deal was foiled by tenants. 'They got multiple offers and conditionally sold upon viewing, but then the buyer viewed it with unco-operative tenants, and they told them how bad the property was,' Mr. Howard said.
'Ours had some nice updates, was really clean inside and one side was completely vacant and the other was seller occupied and nicely furnished.'
This 51-year-old property offers mirror floor plans with entrances at the sides and private yards around the back.
On the main floor, each side provides two bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace and an eat-in kitchen with sliding doors to a front balcony.
The lower levels both have a recreation area, a second full bathroom and two guest rooms.
'This property has nice curb appeal,' said Mr. Howard.
'It's reasonably close to one of Calgary's most beautiful parks, Nose Hill Park.'
