The plan

Buy now. Retire later.

Some of the smartest Canmore purchases I see aren’t pure investments, and they aren’t full-time moves either. They’re retirement plans with a view.

01 · NOW
Buy while you’re working
Lock in today’s price, today’s interest rate and today’s selection.
02 · IN THE MEANTIME
Enjoy it, and let it earn
Weekends, holidays, ski season, the grandkids. Rent it when you’re not here, where zoning permits.
03 · RETIREMENT
Move into the home you own
Sell the city house, or keep it, and make Canmore your primary residence.

Canmore homes among the trees with mountain views

$1M+ How much a detached Canmore home bought in 2016 has risen in value since.

Why waiting costs you

Canmore has a long memory. In one direction.

Limited land. National and provincial parks on every side. More people discovering this lifestyle every year.

Waiting until you retire to buy means buying at retirement prices. Buying now lets the market do the appreciating while you enjoy the place.

It’s the closest thing to a time machine this market offers.

Why it works

A second home you’ll actually use

The Three Sisters above the road into Canmore

Close enough to actually use

From Calgary, you’re unlocking your own front door before a flight anywhere would even board.

Canmore townhomes with mountain peaks behind

Lock it and leave it

Low-maintenance condos and townhomes mean the weekend starts when you arrive, not with a chore list.

Aerial view of Canmore and the Bow Valley

Make it pay its way

Where zoning permits, rent it out on the weeks you’re not here to offset a good share of the carrying costs.

Buy for your future self

Christina Carrick — RE/MAX Alpine Realty

I grew up in the Bow Valley and I’ve been selling real estate for 18 years — Vancouver, Victoria, and home again to raise mountain kids and be close to family. Every inquiry from this page lands with me personally, and I still think this is the best corner of Alberta to own a piece of.
