The answer

Confirm the amount, unit allocation, due dates, purpose, project scope, tender or contract status, reserve-fund relationship, financing or payment options, insurance context, minutes, legal notices, and remaining project risk. Then compare paying and holding, selling with transparent disclosure and pricing, delaying cosmetic renovation, refinancing or using cash, and the effect on buyer financing and resale depth.

Do not assume the sale transfers the economic burden cleanly without contract and legal review.

Calgary-specific context

Calgary condo projects can involve building envelope, roofing, windows, elevators, parkades, post-tension systems, plumbing, mechanical equipment, insurance deductibles, or deferred reserve work, each with different timing and buyer concerns.

What to do next

Build a document chronology and low, base, and high owner-cost case; obtain qualified condo-document and legal advice; then update the sale, hold, renovate, and reserve options.

Research the condo building and corporation.

Compare the actual corporation's documents, insurance, reserve study and upcoming work. A building profile, low fee or newer completion year does not establish financial health.
