Thank you for watching! Rockland Park has Brookfield, Cedarglen, Morrison Homes and Avalon for builders Glacier Ridge has Cedargle, Morrison Homes, Shane Homes, Trico and Jayman for builders Ambleton has Shane Homes, Sterling Homes, Trico, Broadview, Jayman and Truman for builders And Livingston has Brookfield, Cedarglen, Excel Homes, Homes by Avi, Logel Homes and Morrison Homes for builders All are great, reputable builders. You would just want to find the right floorplan and pricing that fits your needs, in the community you want to live in!
Rockland park is about to launch a new phase and they are selling very quickly in there. Laned single family homes will likely be starting around the $580k range in the upcoming phase, but I do know of a quick possession option. Shoot me an email and I can send you more details! ryan.preuter@century21.ca
Who you build with matters more than ever right now. Some builders use low grade materials and treat home building like factory production and it's sad to see. BUT there are some excellent builders that care and take the time. Where have you been looking?
Born and raised actually! Grew up in Sandstone in the NW and never had hail damage to the family home once. Still live in the NW and still no hail damage to the home or cars and we park outside most of the time. Calgary gets storms true, but the NW is no where near as prone as say the NE or the deep SW. As for the cold, if its -30, its cold everywhere. The north can be windy - I'll give you that! Thank you for watching!
@@ryanpreutercalgary the NW got hit in the 90s and a few years back the NE one was a freak of nature. But NW gets the most hail. Also sandstone is more like the north. It's actually colder in the nw because of the elevation and latitude. Even in the summer time. I've lived in Calgary since the 80s. There was nothing north of nose Hill park.
@@mjor6406 I'm not going to try to change your opinion about the NW - If you don't like it then you don't live there. I'm just putting out options for people who are interested in learning more. Uncontrollable and unpredictable things like the weather and where there's more hail aren't really a big focus here because as we saw in 2020 an out-of-nowhere event turned out to be one of the most expensive natural disasters in Canadian history and the area that got hammered is, as you've said not where it hails the most. So whos to say what happens this year, in 5 years, and so on. To each their own, a lot of people find the NW a very desirable location. The high points in the NW share the same altitude as Aspen Woods, parts of Springbank Hill and West Springs, some of the most desirable places to buy homes in Calgary. So I'd say Calgarians are ok with the slight temp differences if any due to elevation.
@@mjor6406 . If you live in Calgary, there is no escape from Hail no matter which quadrant you live in. But there's definitely strong opinions for people living in the subdivision they live in. No need to scorn the other neighborhoods.
@@davidjym How long have you lived in Calgary, I saw the 1991 hail storm in the NW, the most expensive one until the 2020 in the NE. I also saw the 2010 baseball sized hail storm damage in the NW around UofC. There was another one the summer of 2019 in the NW - did major damage to many cars and homes.
“Multi-family” houses are not great to see; it is a relatively foreign form of living in Canada. All multi-family homes do is contribute to rapidly increasing prices and overpopulates the neighbourhood; more than one (generation) family contributes to purchasing the property and thus prices tend to inflate faster over time.
I think it's about balance with Multi-Family or condos. You don't want 5 of them in the community, but 1 building to offer another living solution for people has it's place. Our market is very detached house dominant, so condo prices tend not to influence overall prices as much. Thank you for watching multiple vids and commenting! I appreciate it!!
How can multi family housing be bad? I’m a Canadian living in Switzerland and multi family housing is one of the best solutions to keep prices down in a country that is already quite expensive, and let’s not forget the positive impact on the environment. Increases population density, which typically increases public services, reduces the need for cars, improves the environment, and let’s not forget that it simply makes housing more affordable for young families. It’s a simple question of supply and demand. Increase supply and lowers prices…
@@louistuba Absolutely it provides lower cost options and there is a need for multi family. Where it can become a problem is when row housing or a condo goes up in an area that has no way of supporting more people. One of the most significant ways this presents is in parking. Multi family downtown or close to downtown is great, but when it starts going up in suburb communities where you will still need a car to get around because our transit is terrible you have an issue. The community of Montgomery is a great example of this. Now when it’s planned for in new communities then it usually works out and is a great option, it just won’t decrease car dependency but does improve density and affordability. Thank you for watching and sharing!
@@louistuba , Switzerland is “affordable”…?-you must be doing just fine. Switzerland recently voted to cap their population! Switzerland doesn't seem like a great example here.
@@mbeckford , your historical perspective is only two generations…? Toronto is overpopulated! Calgary is relatively beautiful, full of many _detached _*_family_* homes & green spaces. Remember, net migration is to Alberta, not Ontario, and it's not just because of affordability. Toronto has been going downhill since the 1970s; it's unrecognizable.
It can definitely become a reality for some people, often those that spend beyond their means. Your comment is really a point against the greater financial system and banks which is why you can always buy a house outright for cash. Yes, people do this and it's more common then you thing... and its not just the mega rich. The alternative is renting, which is giving your money to someone else to pay their mortgage or if they've paid it off just straight cash in their pockets. Both cases you're giving your money to someone else, but in one of them, you're building equity along the way. Depending on the scenario, both options are valid a choice. Thank you for watching and dropping a comment, these conversations are important be heard.

Been home shopping. New home construction does not compare to 2008 - 2014 houses. Building materials are not on par dollar for dollar

LOL you are not from here are you? The NW always gets hit with hail storms and it's always coldest area in the city.
