PRIVATE SALE – $615,000 BUYER INCENTIVE: UP TO $20,000 AVAILABLE TO A QUALIFIED BUYER A great opportunity for a family, investor, or buyer looking for a well-maintained home with room to add value over time. I am offering my detached Chestermere home for private sale, with the possibility of a quick closing for the right buyer. For a qualified buyer presenting strong terms, I am prepared to offer a purchase incentive of up to $20,000, depending on the final structure and conditions of the transaction. This provides an opportunity for a buyer to put that money toward closing costs, improvements, moving expenses, or other eligible purchase-related costs, subject to the final purchase agreement. The incentive is intended to provide additional value to a qualified buyer while maintaining a straightforward $615,000 purchase price. THE HOME Built in 2002 Approximately 2,000 sq. ft. Large 5,700 sq. ft. lot – bigger than many comparable properties 3 bedrooms 2 full bathrooms + 2 half bathrooms Fully finished basement with flexible bachelor-style / recreation / man-cave potential (no separate entrance) Double attached garage Central air conditioning Built-in irrigation system Newer hot water tank – 2022 Roof replaced in 2018 The home is cosmetically and structurally sound and has been well maintained. VALUE & UPSIDE There is significant value supporting the asking price: Recent bank valuation in the high $600,000s Current municipal assessment: approximately $648,000 Relative Market values $650 to $720k Current insurance/rebuild value: approximately $865,000 The home does not require a major renovation to be enjoyed or rented immediately. The primary opportunity for a buyer looking to add value is cosmetic modernization, particularly flooring and finishes. As a general guide: Approximately $4,000–$5,000 and up for flooring-focused updates, depending on materials and scope Approximately $20,000–$40,000+ for a broader cosmetic modernization, depending on the buyers choices and level of finish You can update it gradually while living in it, modernize it for long-term rental appeal, or undertake a more extensive cosmetic update to potentially unlock additional equity. FOR INVESTORS This property could work well as a move-in-ready rental investment, with potential for immediate rental income while allowing time for market conditions to improve. For investors or renovators, there is potential for a relatively straightforward cosmetic update rather than a major structural renovation. Lets discuss a delayed/structured sale option. The home is fundamentally solid, giving you flexibility to decide how much—or how little—you want to invest in improvements. The buyer incentive may also provide additional flexibility for a qualified purchaser to allocate funds toward improvements or transaction-related expenses, subject to lender and legal requirements. FOR FAMILIES For a family looking for space and value in Chestermere, this is a well-maintained home on a larger-than-average lot in an established community. Located close to schools, parks, shopping and major commuter routes, with convenient access to Calgary. Buy it as it is and enjoy it immediately, or update it over time to suit your personal style while building equity. PRICING & BUYER INCENTIVE Asking Price: $615,000 Potential Buyer Incentive: Up to $20,000 The incentive is available to a qualified buyer and will depend on the final purchase price, terms, conditions and transaction structure. A clean offer with strong terms, a reasonable closing timeline and minimal conditions will receive serious consideration. The incentive is intended to recognize buyers who bring a straightforward transaction to the table and may be structured as part of the purchase agreement in a manner acceptable to all parties and the buyers lender. Private buyers welcome. BUYERS AGENTS Qualified buyers represented by a licensed real estate professional are welcome. Rather than paying a separate seller-side listing commission, I am prepared to consider allocating a portion of the transaction value as a buyer incentive, where the overall terms of the transaction justify it. This provides an opportunity for a buyer and their representative to structure the transaction in a way that creates additional value for the purchaser, subject to applicable brokerage, lender and legal requirements. Please note: I am not looking to sign with a sellers agent. PREVIOUS LISTING The home is currently off market after previously being listed on MLS as a FSBO. For anyone reviewing the previous days on market: the extended listing period was affected by family-related circumstances and should be considered in that context. The property is now being offered privately with a fresh approach, revised pricing and a potential buyer incentive. A STRAIGHTFORWARD SALE The photos availabl
