What Should You Know Before Buying a Condo in Eau Claire?

Before you buy a condo in Eau Claire, read the building's documents, check the reserve fund and look up the flood maps for the address. In the 2021 Census, most Eau Claire homes were apartments, so these checks matter for almost every buyer. The Government of Alberta publishes checklists for condo buyers. Here are four things to check, then five steps.

• Condo fees and the reserve fund: A condo fee is the monthly payment owners make to the condo corporation. Per the Government of Alberta, the Condominium Property Act requires a reserve fund for major repairs. The fund is not for ongoing maintenance. Money for it can come from monthly fees, higher contributions, special assessments or borrowing. A special assessment is an extra charge to owners. Read our guide to condo special assessments before closing. We don't print fee amounts here, because every building is different.
• Building age: In the 2021 Census, about 56% of Eau Claire homes were built from 1981 to 2000. Only 1% needed major repairs, per the census. Census figures are for the whole community, not one building, so ask for each building's repair history and reserve fund study.
• River and flood: Eau Claire is by the Bow River, so check the flood maps for any address. The City's downtown flood barrier, completed in 2023, is designed to resist a 1-in-200-year flood. We can't promise any home is safe from flooding.
• Downtown noise and change: Eau Claire sits next to the Downtown Commercial Core, and the area keeps changing. Visit the building at different times of day. Ask the board or manager what work is planned nearby.

How to check an Eau Claire condo before you offer

1. Ask for the condo documents. The Government of Alberta lists the documents purchasers can ask for, plus checklists and a tip sheet. See its condominium information page.
2. Read the reserve fund study. Per the Government of Alberta, a study is required at least every five years and looks 30 years ahead. See its reserve funds page.
3. Compare fees fairly. Divide the monthly fee by the unit's square footage. Then ask what the fee includes in that building's documents.
4. Check the address on the flood maps. Start with the City's flood maps page and the Province's flood hazard maps.
5. Visit and ask a lawyer. Visit at different times of day. Then have a real estate lawyer review the documents. This is not legal advice.

For safety data, use the Calgary Police Service Community Safety Dashboard. We don't print an Eau Claire number here, because crime data changes and sources differ.
