人们喜欢卡尔加里的25种原因

坐落在落基山脉脚下的卡尔加里是加拿大阿尔伯塔省新西部的核心,是Bow River 和Elbow River交汇处。因为我们的独特地理位置,Chinook风吹来,我们就会有很多暖洋洋的冬日。事实上,我们的光照平均天数远远高于国内其它城市。下面是很多人喜欢卡尔加里的原因,我希望你也能找出自己的原因。

  1. 卡尔加里经济是全国表现最好的城市,形形色色的行业包括能源、金融、制造、运输、高科技、影视等等。

  5. 卡尔加里是全球惟有的三个没有老鼠的地区。(应该是数量相当低的三个区域之一吧。我就在老房子逮过老鼠。)

  6. 卡尔加里人可以全年365天,一天24小时走进医院,享受免费诊断。(我 怎么就听说很多检查都排了很久很久呢;实在等不急的,干脆就死了算了。看来凡事都是相对的,人家强调的是“不花钱,就能看病。”)

  7. 卡尔加里拥有大大小小500多公园、野生动物观测点、自行车骑车道和爬山小路。

  8. 卡尔加里拥有加拿大41%的20-44岁年轻人口,平均年龄仅36岁!

  1. 加拿大高等教育注册比例全球最高

  2. 加拿大拥有世界上9%的再生水资源(这应该往前排名次)

卡尔加里西南老地翻建Infills

卡尔加里市中心社区建筑许可的增加,是市中心优质住宅区建筑热潮的明显信号。那么,这股热潮到底有多火爆?据卡尔加里市政府报告,2012年5月的建筑许可数量相比2011年5月增长了95%。过去几个月建筑许可大幅上升,因此预计2012年剩余时间内,市中心住宅建设将持续增长。

市中心地块的受欢迎程度甚至达到挂牌不到24小时就被抢购,甚至在上市前就已售出的程度。买家和建筑商有时甚至挨家挨户询问是否有人愿意出售。这种情况在Hillhurst 和 Altadore 等备受追捧的社区尤为明显。由于需求旺盛,卡尔加里部分地区的地块价格在过去12至18个月内上涨了30%!

Altadore 是西人非常喜欢的靠近市中心的高档次社区,离市中心仅几分钟车程,很多房屋将市中心美景尽收眼底,周边环境宜人,这些也许就是它吸引买家的地方。

Currie Barracks 是Crowchild Trail西边在原军队营地上分三期建设开发的高档社区。排屋的起价都70多万,独立屋几乎是百万起价。

Garrison Green 社区位于 Currie Barracks 的南面,也是在军营旧址建造起来的次新区。就像它的名字一样,区内有很多绿化,小区社区别具一格。

Glendale 距离市中心不到3公里,这就是为什么很多INFILL都在这里兴建。

Killarney 有您居家想要的一切,轻松逃离市中心,前往山里;或者几分钟内就能开车驶往城市东面。

Richmond Park and Knob Hill 地段非常便利,几乎轻松前往卡尔加里想去 的任何便利服务场所。

Rosscarrock 也是具市中心不到3公里,备受很多尽可能靠近市中心上班族的青睐。

Shaganappi 半边是GOLF球场绿地、半边是居民区,中间被BOW TRAIL隔开,到市中心不到5分钟,目前又有LRT2012通车的新概念。

South Calgary 这一社区很特别:不少房屋有市中心的景色,骑车到市中心也才几分钟的事。INFILL项目如火如荼。

Spruce Cliff 就位于BOW RIVER的南面,因其将DOWNTOWN景色就收眼底而知名。市场炙手可热!

Calgary's Best Communities New Ranking - 2012

The latest statistics from AVENUE magazine for 2012 have been released. What interests us the most is how the 'best' communities were selected. The ranking is primarily based on survey responses where participants were asked which factors matter most when choosing a neighborhood to move into or settle in long-term.

The survey results show that low crime rates, reasonable commuting times, and pedestrian-friendliness are among the top concerns for respondents.

If large lots and spacious yards are not an option, people tend to prioritize proximity to children's playgrounds and adult fitness centers. When living close to friends and relatives is not a necessity, people value having restaurants and cafés nearby for social gatherings with family and friends.

Additionally, respondents are highly concerned about property value appreciation, so they closely follow community price growth rankings.

在卡尔加里市场购买公寓的优缺点

如果您是首次购买公寓的买家,并正在寻找新公寓,了解用于描述不同类型公寓的术语至关重要。为方便起见,我列出了不同公寓类型的缩写。

公寓“风格”定义

STUDI(单间公寓):一个综合生活区,包含一个指定的卧室。

APART(单层公寓):所有生活空间都位于同一层。

APARTM(多层公寓):多层住宅单元,指包含超过一层已完工生活空间的公寓或公寓式住宅。

LOFT(阁楼):通常是由工厂、仓库或其他商业空间改造而成的大型开放式空间,或专门设计成类似风格的住宅。这些空间通常具有非常高的天花板、大窗户,有时还包括混凝土地板和天花板。

PENTH(顶层公寓):位于建筑物顶层的特殊公寓。它可能拥有专属设施,例如私人入口或电梯,并且通常占据整个楼层。

VILLA(别墅):通常是独立或半独立的平房式住宅,带有与生活区在同一层的附属车库,并注册为公寓产权。公寓规划可能会将车库计入单元面积。

在卡尔加里市场购买公寓的优缺点

优点(Pros)

  1. 价格较低:与独立屋相比,公寓的价格通常更低,是首次购房者或预算有限的买家的理想选择。

  2. 维护成本低:公寓的物业管理公司负责建筑外部维护、公共设施保养和园艺等,减少了业主的负担。

  3. 便利的地理位置:许多公寓位于市中心或主要商业区,靠近公共交通、购物中心、餐馆和工作地点,生活更加便利。

  4. 设施齐全:许多公寓配备健身房、游泳池、会所、停车场等设施,提高生活质量。

  5. 安全性较高:公寓通常设有门禁、监控系统和保安人员,相较于独立屋更具安全保障。

  6. 投资回报潜力:如果公寓位于优越地段,随着市场增长,未来有升值潜力,并且可以作为出租物业获得稳定的租金收入。

缺点(Cons)

  1. 物业费较高:公寓业主需要支付每月的物业管理费,这可能随着时间推移而上涨,并增加购房成本。

  2. 空间有限:相比独立屋,公寓的居住空间较小,储物空间不足,适合单身人士或小家庭,不适合大家庭居住。

  3. 转售难度:公寓市场可能供过于求,转售时竞争激烈,影响房产升值速度,特别是在市场疲软时价格波动较大。

  4. 限制较多:许多公寓有严格的管理规定,例如禁止养宠物、限制租赁或装修等,影响业主的自由度。

  5. 土地权益有限:购买公寓意味着仅拥有单元内部空间,而土地属于整栋建筑的共有财产,不像独立屋那样拥有土地所有权。

  6. 市场波动风险:公寓市场受供需关系影响较大,价格可能不如独立屋稳定,在经济低迷或房地产市场下滑时可能更容易贬值。

综合来看,在卡尔加里购买公寓适合预算有限、追求便利生活和低维护成本的买家,但需要权衡物业费、转售难度和市场波动的风险。

成交案例:银行回收房 两层独立屋,前置双车库,35万

 本来想起写写刚成交的银行回收房的成交案例,没有和卖方经纪人打过一通电话,以客户期待的价格内买下,但是整个谈判过程都是10天前的事了,细节都好忘记的差不多了,没有当初想写时那么精彩了,但那时房子还在PENDING呢,不想有任何闪失,就拖到现在。

客 户是半年前和我联系过的,第一次带看市中心的4套公寓,买家丈夫就想购买其中的一套,因为他们第一次看房子,对市场还不熟悉,我不希望对方仓促作决定、日 后后悔,就建议客户多看些房源对比后决定。同时我也不希望买家投资要交管理费的公寓房,第二次带他们看了RAMSAY附近的一些老房子,但是对方嫌弃房子 太老。其实那一带旧地翻建的投资客也不少。

。。。。。。之后,客户就再也没有联系过我,直到这次购房行动。

买 家先和我小叙旧事,之后直接了当告诉我想让我为他们出份OFFER。我边聊边察看那一地区的在售、已售对比房源情况,发现最新成交的、也是最低成交价格都 要在36.8万/面积还1450平方尺,而买家准备购买的银行拍卖房降价之后是35.9万/面积1630,本来就已经是好价格了。客户决定以3?万起出 OFFER,因为我知道对方的弱点在哪里,所以谈判过程相当简单(其实是我记不起来了),对方无奈以35万最终成交。我没有使用一贯及俩和对方通话,来了 解更多细节,完全是心理战术、文字游戏。

买家对我说,没有和我联系的这段时间他们和朋友介绍的经纪人合作过,经历过的一个 未谈成的OFFER和我这次操作的案例一样,前次没有买下来,但是这次我帮助他们最终买下来了,她很满意!(我开心自己10多年来的销售经历历练升华了我 的谈判技巧,但是同时也无奈于自己简单的生活方式、并不善于交际而导致的困窘局面,全靠陌生朋友的莫大信任、以及成交客户的推荐。庆幸自己现有的成绩,激励自己日后的进取。)
