The answer
A remote purchase is possible, but it needs a stricter evidence process: live video with buyer-directed views, street and surrounding-block review, commute and noise checks, financing and insurance confirmation, property documents, inspection planning, trusted local access, walkthrough rules, and a fallback if the property or closing does not match expectations.
Calgary-specific context
Snow cover, grading, exterior condition, traffic, flight paths, LRT or road noise, unfinished new-community work, and cross-city commute assumptions can be difficult to judge remotely.
What to do next
Write a remote-offer evidence checklist and define which missing fact requires a condition, specialist, second visit, or no offer.
