My name is Felix Chan, realtor and mortgage broker with the LiveInnerCity real estate team in Calgary.

Marda Loop isn't actually a community, rather it's an area of businesses that intersect
the communities of Garrison woods Altadore and South Calgary.
When you're looking at homes, one of the key elements you should be considering is lifestyle.
Now, Marda loop has been going through a ton of changes over the years.
And even to this day, it's still going through some revitalization, both on the residential
and the commercial side.
Builders have been tearing down old homes and building two, three, four unit homes one
lot.
So it's bringing a lot of people into the area and because land value is more expensive,
Real estate prices is more expensive.
It's attracting boutique and local shops here.
So if your lifestyle includes a love for coffee, ice cream, love ice cream, going out for food
and going out for drinks and all within walking distance, then Marda Loop is for you.
Now, I'm not going to go in-depth about Marda Loop, I'm saving that video for the future.

Welcome to the condo, but let's actually go through the private entrance.
Look at all this space, this huge living room, you could easily fit a sectional.
It's been freshly painted and you have a built-in desk.
This massive kitchen just had brand new vinyl plank flooring installed, right for you.
The bedroom is big enough to fit a King size bed, nightstands and a dresser.
And you have big his and her closets, as well as the ensuite, has double vanities.
So what do you guys think of the condo so far?
Can you imagine yourself living here?

Now that you've seen the condo, let's go check out the pool.
Welcome to the owner's lounge.
You can fit up to 60 people in here and you also have a full kitchen you have access to
I would have loved to take you guys through the pool and gym, but because of COVID, all
gyms are closed right now.
So who's this home for?
Well it's great if you're a first time home buyer, and if you were to put 10% down, your
mortgage payments would be about $1,200 and you can take advantage of the home buyers
plan in which you can pull up to $35,000 from your RRSPs tax-free.
Or if you haven't owned a home in four years, you can still take advantage of the home buyers
plan.
And the great thing about this is when you do decide to move up into a bigger home, you
have the option of keeping this as an income property.
With all the amenities and the shops close by, it's no doubt it can be a highly desirable
location.
It's also good for people who want to downsize.
You'll notice that it's on the main level, which means you have two access points.
You don't have to deal with stairs or elevators so it's going to be like easier for mobility.
