New Listing in Tuscany, NW Calgary AB

I Just Listed 7 Tuscany Ridge Bay NW this week and we are pleased to already have it under contract after only 14 hours on the market.

This really made a big impression on the potential buyers that came through it on the 1st day it hit the market and it resulted in an accepted offer that day.
