How much should condo fees be in Edmonton?+
There is no single ideal number. Compare the fee per square foot, included utilities and amenities, the building’s age, reserve funding and recent operating costs.
Can I make an offer conditional on condo document review?+
Condo purchases commonly include conditions appropriate to the buyer’s circumstances, such as financing, inspection and document review. Your offer should be tailored with legal and professional advice.
Are low condo fees always better?+
No. Unusually low fees may reflect fewer services, but they can also mean insufficient contributions or deferred maintenance. The financial documents provide the context.
