Opportunities like this rarely come along. Built in 2007, Unit 18 has had just two owners in nearly 20 years, and once you see the setting, it is easy to understand why no one wants to leave. This is the end unit that buyers in Murrelet Gardens have been waiting for. Tucked into the back corner of the complex, it backs onto lush green space on two sides. A spacious common green area sits beside the unit, while a treed boundary lines the rear, bordering the adjacent school playing field. No rear neighbors. No side neighbors on one end. Just privacy, greenery, and birdsong. The aerial view tells the story better than words: this home sits quietly in its own corner while the rest of the complex carries on around it. Inside, the bright and functional layout flows seamlessly from the kitchen through the dining and living area, opening directly onto a private patio. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Two comfortable bedrooms, a well-appointed 4-piece bathroom, in-suite laundry, and dedicated storage complete the 910 sq ft floor plan. Recent updates include two new appliances, a brand new hot water tank, and fresh interior paint throughout. Move-in ready from day one. Murrelet Gardens is a well-managed, low-maintenance community just minutes from everything central Comox has to offer. Quality Foods, Aspen Park, walking trails, medical offices, transit, and the marina are all a short walk or bike ride away. No age restrictions. Small pets welcome. End units at the back of this complex with green space on two sides rarely come to market. Do not wait on this one. (id:65958)

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
