Calgary Duplex Guidance: What Moves Price and Terms

Buyers typically pay up for certainty and negotiate hard when things feel unclear. If you’re buying, verify first. If you’re selling, package your duplex clearly so the best buyers can move fast and firm.

Buyer: Verify Income

Leases, rent roll, deposits, arrears, and utility responsibility. If it’s not documented, it’s not underwritten.

Buyer: Expenses + Capex

Taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, and reserves. Confirm roof/windows/mechanicals and the repair timeline.

Seller: Sell Certainty

Best terms come when buyers trust the file: updates list, utilities, and receipts for major items.
