Hi Everyone:

I wanted to send out a quick report on the condominium situation in the south end of St Vital.  I had recently noticed that there is a shortage of good quality condo listings in the south end, a factor which helped on of my recent listings sell for significantly over the asking-price.24 Nova Vista condo

Currently, in the south St Vital area, there are only 14 condos listed for sale, ranging in price from the low end of 575 sq-ft condo on Arden at $119,900 to a high-end, 1515 sq ft luxury condo at The Waterfront for $450,000.

During the month of June 2010, this same area saw a total of 19 condos sold, ranging in price from $117,000 to a high of $356,000.  Of these, 8 condos sold ABOVE list price, 7 sold BELOW list, and 4 sold AT LIST.

During July 2010, a total of only 10 condos were sold in south St. Vital, ranging in price from $145,000 to $400,000.  Of those, 4 condos sold ABOVE list, and 6 sold BELOW list.

While ‘ultiple offers’ are more rare in condominiums, our current shortage of listings is helping to create a situation where sellers can expect good activity on their condos, listed on the MLS® by REALTORS®

If you’re looking to sell your condo, in St. Vital or other areas of Winnipeg, please call me anytime for a realistic market evaluation, and a look at my Customized Marketing Plan for your Condo.

Hi everyone:

Looks like I just sold a condo in the ‘yet-to-be-built’ Dennistoun Condominiums on Roslyn Rd.

This exciting project, Dennistoun Condos, which is accepting pre-orders for suites at this time, is scheduled to start construction in the spring of 2011.  Located on Roslyn Rd, just west of Osborne St,  units range in size from 795 sq ft to 1200 sq ft and prices range from around $260,000 to $430,000.

I always advise my clients that there are 4 or 5 ’should-have’ items in a condominium.  These are:  Underground Parking, Insuite Laundry, Central Air, Concrete Construction, and Location, Location, Location.

Although this building is months away from construction start, it appears to have all of the above.  Underground Parking is included in the larger suites (at no extra cost) and all suites have central air, furnace and insuite laundry.  You certainly can’t argue the location, in Osborne Village and right behind Safeway.

The condominium will feature 71 suites, and the developer requires that 30 units are reserved before going to the next phase.  I’m told that now 23 are already reserved, so if you’re thinking of buying a new construction condo, in a fabulous trendy Osborne Village area, don’t delay.  Call me anytime for more info…  Bo 333-2202

Currently, there are 18 condos available in the south end of the city between $99,000 and $160,000.  As [...]
