There is nothing more stressful or exciting than purchasing your first home. For many people, it is a time of adventure but for others, it can be scary deciding whether or not you’re ready.

Here are some reasons to consider purchasing a single-family home.

1. Space – If you’re an expanding family or have children, a townhome or condo won’t provide the same space as a single-family home – not only inside but also outside. Condos and townhomes rarely come with a yard. A single-family home is situated on its own lot with its own yard.

2. Privacy – A single-family home is the most private residency, you will not share any walls with your neighbours (unless you have a rental suite in your house, which is a bonus source of income). You will have your own yard and won’t have to worry about neighbours using your space.

3. Long Term Investment – Single-family homes are the longest investment you will make in your life, and generally, you can sell your home for a profit if it is well maintained.

4. Variety – A single-family home offers more variety than a townhouse or condo. If you want a specific number of bathrooms or bedrooms, a playroom or a walk-in pantry there are options that will include your preferences. There is also more variety in the floorplan which means that finding a layout that suits your needs is higher than the standardized layouts for condos or townhomes.

Whether you’re relocating to a new city or you are ready to upgrade and don’t want to wait for a house to be built, quick possession new builds are a great option for purchasing a new home. Quick possession homes are completely finished and are just waiting for someone to fall in love with them.

Here are the top three perks of buying a quick possession home in Saskatoon and area:
1. No Waiting – With other newly built homes, you may need to wait for the builders to complete the home before you can move in. However (as mentioned above), quick possession homes are completely built and ready for new homeowners.
2. It’s A New Home – Quick possession homes are new builds. They haven’t been lived in before, so you get to enjoy the perks of a brand-new home with up-to-date appliances, fixtures, and modern features.
3. Newer Neighbourhoods – Most new homes are built in newer, developing neighbourhoods which are a great option if you’re looking for something a little more modern with parks and recreation built into the fabric of the neighbourhood.

If these perks seem appealing to you, check out our move-in ready homes and see if anything catches your eye. We have a number of move-in ready homes available in Brighton, Rosewood, Aspen Ridge, Lake Vista, Warman and Dalmeny.

Improving Affordability: Support for First-Time Home Buyers

There is nothing more exciting (or stressful) than purchasing your first home. For many people, it is a time of adventure, but for others, it can be a little scary deciding whether or not they’re ready. The federal government wants to make homeownership more accessible and affordable for first-time home buyers and to do so, is introducing the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive administered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC).

With this incentive, CMHC provides 10% of a first-time buyer’s purchase of a new build in exchange for an equity stake, allowing for smaller mortgages that will keep monthly payments lower! The incentive is available to first-time homebuyers with qualified annual incomes of $120,000 or less.

Set to launch on September 2nd, 2019, take advantage of this exciting new program and let us help you get to homeownership! Visit one of our show homes to learn more.
