From CTV News (Bell Media):

“It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days.”

    My googling tells me:

    The typical cost to install a home elevator in a two-story house ranges from $30,000 to $60,000 on average

    Minimum cost: Around $20,000

    Maximum cost: Up to $100,000 or more

    National average: Approximately $48,000

        Much doubt in that statement. Define ‘sellable’, is taking the price from 900,000 to 1.1 million making a house sellable? I guess you don’t want to leave 270,000 dollars on the table but if they’re at the point where they can’t walk up stairs ik going to hazard a guess that those amounts will result in the same quality of life for them

      My parents put in a stair lift. I’d expect more are doing something like that where they are a few thousand bucks. But you still need to be able to transfer to/from the seat. It doesn’t accommodate a wheelchair.

      It’s not such an extravagant purchase when it’s the only way my father could make it up and down from his bedroom.
