Is Arbor Creek a good place to buy a condo?

Arbor Creek can be a solid condo buy for a buyer who values lower maintenance and a smaller footprint, but the answer depends on the specific building's reserve fund and bylaws, not the neighbourhood name, and your lawyer should confirm title through Information Services Corporation regardless of how good the building looks.

Before treating any Arbor Creek condo as a good buy, review the status certificate the condo corporation provides, which discloses the reserve fund balance, upcoming special assessments and any active litigation. A healthy reserve fund means the building can cover a roof or elevator replacement without a surprise bill to owners.

Factor the monthly condo fee into your carrying cost alongside a $400 to $600 in-suite inspection and $800 to $1,500 in legal fees, since the fee is a permanent cost that a single family home in the same area does not carry.

The building's paperwork tells you more than the address does. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
