How This Beltline Condo Sold in 3 Days While Others Sat on the Market

How This Beltline Condo Sold in 3 Days While Others Sat on the Market

If you’ve been watching the Calgary condo market lately, you’ve probably noticed the shift.

Condos—especially in the Beltline—are sitting. Showings are slower. Buyers are hesitant. And sellers are dropping their prices just to get attention.

So when my client asked, “Do you think it’s a good time to sell?” I didn’t sugarcoat it.

The answer was: only if we do it right.

This is the story of how we sold her Beltline condo in just 3 days, for full asking price, with no conditions—while similar listings in the same area struggled to get traction.

The Challenge: Selling a Condo in a Shifting Market

This wasn’t an easy market. Buyers had options. Inventory was building. And a lot of Beltline units were going stale.

But my client’s place had three key things going for it:

  • It was a corner unit with skyline views

  • Floor-to-ceiling windows with natural light all day

  • Already beautifully staged

She had lived in the condo, but also ran it occasionally as an Airbnb. It was clean, cared for, and turn-key.

So I told her what I tell every seller right now: you need to hit the market with precision. Price it right. Launch it like you mean it. And your home will stand out.

What We Did Differently

Here’s exactly what we did to make sure this listing didn’t just sit around:

  • Priced it at current market value (not over, not under)

  • Hired a pro photographer to shoot the space

  • Created short-form video content to push on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook

  • Built a full YouTube tour to attract serious buyers (scroll down to watch)

This wasn’t just a listing. It was a marketing campaign.

And that difference showed.

The Results

Here’s what happened after launch:

  • 21 showings in the first 3 days

  • A clean, full-price offer

We had interest from the first hour it hit the market. By the third day, we had what we needed: a buyer who was ready to move fast.

And just like that—it was sold.

What You Can Learn From This Sale

If you're a condo owner in Calgary wondering whether it’s the right time to sell, the truth is: it depends.

The market isn’t as forgiving as it used to be. You need to stand out. You need to do the work. And you need someone who knows how to position your property in a way that gets attention—online and in person.

Because the right strategy still gets results.

And it doesn't have to take 30 days and a price drop to make it happen.
