When looking for a new home, a number of factors come into play: How far

from work? How close to schools and shopping? What other important amenities are nearby?

� e answers to these and other questions are varied and depend on your personal situation and preferences. What’s most important to you when searching for your perfect “location, location, location?”

It should come as no surprise that buyers increasingly say that being close to public transit and having a short commute are among the features that matter most. Maybe not the number one concern, but certainly right up there, and increasingly so.

As we approach the spring busy season, you’ll hear more and more

Location, location, locationWhat’s important to you when looking for a new-home location?

Long-term commitmentWill afford you peace of mind

sources, from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., to the major banks and other experts, update their forecasts for 2015. Interest rates, which dropped recently, aren’t likely to rise signi� cantly, most economists suggest.

A� ordability, which varies depending on your local market, is becoming increasingly tested on many fronts.

Issues such as land supply and acquisition costs are increasingly having an impact on pricing, home types and availability.

As you go through the new-home buying process, these are the types of issues you’ll be learning more about, and that will a� ect your decision.

We’re here to help. Pick up New Home Guide in the coming weeks for market news, analysis and other information to help you � nd your perfect location, location, location.

Whether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your � rst place,

changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax.

You can eliminate the anxiety associated with moving by taking control of the situation with con� dence.

Understanding the market is just part of the story. Knowing what you need and what you can a� ord is the more important part of the equation. Making a prudent purchasing decision that doesn’t keep you up at night

when interest rates rise or market news becomes the talk of the town is up to you.

Any expert will tell you that buying a home or condo is a long-term commitment. � is issue is full of great tips from the experts as well as the latest news designed to help you make a wise purchasing decision.

Along with our community pro� le features, which outline the speci� cs on many � ne communities, there’s lots to take in. So kick back, relax and enjoy. You’re in the driver’s seat.

Recreational lake front property has long been exclusively thought of as a summer treat. From that first warm weekend at

the end of May, residents of cottage country do their best to squeeze in as much time at the lake before the leaves and snow fall.

There is, however, a new development in Alberta that offers the exclusive benefits of lakeside living year-round. Whether prospective buyers are looking for a weekend retreat or a permanent residence, The Estates at Waters Edge offers unique, single-family homes to accommodate a range of budgets and lifestyles.

This secure, gated development is situated 45 minutes west of Edmonton on the shore of Lac St. Anne. As a perennial community equipped with resort-style amenities, residents enjoy the beauty that every season has to offer. Summer activities include water sports, fishing, walking, biking, or golfing at a nearby course. Winter brings its own selection of outdoor ac-tivities, including snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. For skating and hockey enthusiasts, there is an outdoor NHL-sized ice rink, complete with a skate change and warm-up facility. Access to a private boat launch and a maintained marina allows for carefree boating enjoyment. For social gather-ings, a clubhouse, featuring a kitchen, dining area and games room, can accommodate gatherings both small and large.

Home designs are created in-house by the Waters Edge Architecture Team to keep turn-around time to a minimum. Most home builders charge a fee for any changes to their plans, however, this service is complementary for buyers who choose to build with Waters Edge. Owners can also choose to purchase an un-developed lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guide-lines.

Waters Edge homes have been designed in a timeless Craftsman-style and are available in an array of two to four bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,150 to 2,500+ sq.ft.. Layouts and room sizes are completely customizable to ensure that each plan meets the buyer’s needs. Yards are fully landscaped and can include a choice of parking pad, attached or detached garage. A variety of high-quality interior finishing packages are also available and owners can rest easy knowing that their residence comes with a 10-year Progressive Home Warranty to ensure the highest home construction quality.

Lot prices start in the low $100,000’s, and two bedroom residences with completely landscaped lots start in the low $300,000’s.

Two brand new showhomes are now open and available for immediate possession. Contact Mike at 780-405-6378 or 1-877-405-1105 or visit watersedgeestates.ca for more information.

an open environment living space with 10- to 12-ft. ceilings throughout. The kitchen, dining, and living room are all open to each other with large windows on the back wall of the home providing plenty of natural light, making for the ultimate airy environment. The great room features a stone accented fireplace, complete with an above mounted flat screen TV. Five rectangular windows frame the fireplace, accenting the contemporary coffered ceiling design.

A dining area is located to the right of the great room and features an entry to the back patio allowing for convenient access to an additional living space in the warmer months. The spacious dining area provides the homeowner with a handy built-in wine display and cupboard space, and seamlessly transitions to the glorious gourmet kitchen. A focal point

in kitchen is the oversized island that comfortably seats four, but can convert into the perfect serving table when entertaining family and friends. The kitchen includes high quality appliances, such as a Frigidaire Professional Fridge, double ovens and gas range. Stylish dark wood cabinets with chrome hardware pair perfectly with the gorgeous granite countertops and grey glass tile backsplash, creating an ultra clean and urban look in this space. A substantially sized pantry, with built-in shelving, provides an ample amount of space for storing all the kitchen necessities.

The main floor of the Richmond also includes a well-designed mudroom that serves as a laundry room with built in cabinetry and convenient sink. A Whirlpool front load washer and dryer set are nestled under a granite countertop that contains a sink. Additional cabinets and a seating bench are also located in this space, which offers access to the double car garage. A hall leads to a large master bedroom with two vertical windows would brilliantly frame a king size bed. A substantial walk-in closet with built-in shelving and luxurious ensuite complete this room. His and Her vanities are showcased in the master ensuite; as well as a glass panel shower stall with floor to ceiling tiled walls that includes a rain shower head and body jets. A jet tub is also showcased in the ensuite, making this space a definite R&R retreat. Next to the master bedroom is a main floor full bath situated beside an additional

bedroom, which can also be used as a home office or den. An open-concept stairway to the forced walk-out basement of this

sophisticated home is located within the living area. Beautiful hardwood floors continue on the staircase, presenting a seamless design, and lead to this lower level living space. The Richmond’s basement offers the perfect destination for entertaining family and friends. The living area features a large wet bar with granite countertops, wine fridges and a dishwasher. A fireplace accented with floor to ceiling stonework anchors the living area – a space that provides enough room for both a games table and plenty of seating. An in-floor heating system is a fantastic additional feature that brings warmth to what is usually a cooler space. This entertainment focused basement also includes a theatre room located opposite of the living area. With a dual-level staggered seating design, surround sound, and a wet bar with mini-fridge, watching a movie in the Richmond can certainly rival heading out to the cinema. Two large bedrooms, each with a spacious closet and oversized window, are featured in the basement; a full bath is located in between the two bedrooms, offering convenient access from all areas of the basement.

Alberta home builders have a message for those who have recently bought – or are about to buy – a home: relax. The sky is not falling on the housing market in the province.

Sure, the recent slide in oil prices has caused a stir: listings are up and sales down, but so far there’s been little impact on home prices. In Calgary, for example, the detached benchmark price in January was $518,600, an eight-per-cent increase over January 2014’s $480,300, and up slightly from December’s $510,900.

So, Chicken Little, what exactly is the problem?CHBA – Alberta Economic Analyst Richard Goatcher,

summed up the industry’s mood following a recent meeting with builders in Red Deer – the “Heartland” of the province.

“A general mood of caution for 2015,” he told New Home Guide. “Most expect to stay busy, but slower than last year.”

CHBA – Alberta represents more than 1,500 builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies in the province – so, a sector that is a key employer and economic driver.

Builders expect 2015 starts will drop 15.5 per cent from 2014 levels, but the province-wide total of 34,300 units should still exceed the 2010-14 five-year average of 32,500 units.

Most of the slowdown this year is expected to come in the multi-family segment, where starts are expected to decline by 20 per cent to 16,840 units. Single-detached starts are expected to reach 17,460 units, down 11 per cent from 2014.

To be sure, these declines are notable, but they follow a very busy 2014 for Alberta’s new home building industry – the best since 2007 – with total housing starts (urban and rural) reaching 40,590 units.

CMHC WEIGHS INRecently, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. updated

its forecast, in its first quarter 2015 Housing Market Outlook, saying housing starts in Alberta would decrease to 36,000 in 2015 and 34,500 in 2016.

As for price growth, CMHC says that after leading the Prairie region with a 5.2-per-cent gain in 2014, Alberta will record more modest price growth moving forward. With rising listings and lower demand in 2015, price growth in the province will ease to below two per cent to an average of $407,100 in 2015 and $415,000 in 2016.

“Lower oil prices will have a dampening effect on investment and economic growth, particularly in Alberta and to a lesser extent Saskatchewan,” says Lai Sing Louie, CMHC’s regional economist. “This will contribute to slower employment growth and net migration, in turn slowing housing demand.

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers – representing another huge employment sector in the province – says capital investment in western Canada will still total $46 billion this year – including $25 billion in the oil sands.

“Certainly a drop from the high-water mark, but not chump change, either,” CHBA – Alberta spokesman Paul Cashman told New Home Guide. “Alberta’s other big primary industries – forestry and tourism – will get a boost from the low Canadian dollar.

“So, there are still some big positives in Alberta.”

01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

03 Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow. Divide by 1,000.

06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home

» Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know

what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.

// HOMEBUYERS’ HELP

Calculate your mortgage payments

MORTGAGE TYPESALL MORTGAGES ARE OF TWO BASIC TYPES:

CONVENTIONAL:The buyer can borrow up to 80% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less.The buyer has to pay 20% down. A conventional mortgage cannot exceed 80% of the value of the property.

INSURED OR HIGH-R ATIO:A buyer can borrow up to 95% of the purchase price or the value of the property, whichever is less. The down payment can be as low as 5%.

MORTGAGE OPTIONSYou can choose any of these mortgage options which fit into the two basic mortgage types. Lenders may even customize these options to suit your needs.

OPEN MORTGAGE:Allows borrowers to repay all or part of the total amount of their mortgage at any time without penalty.

Because of f lexibility, this is ideal for borrowers who plan to sell their homes in the near future or who want to switch from a short-term mortgage at high interest rates to a longer term when mortgage interest rates fall.

CLOSED MORTGAGE:Usually has the lowest interest rate available but lacks the f lexible features of other mortgage options.A good choice for those who want the security of knowing their monthly payment is fixed for a longer term.

Prepayment options are available but they are subject to conditions.

PORTABLE MORTGAGE:Flexibility if borrowers move. Borrowers can take the mortgage to their new home or can transfer it (usually with the consent of the lender) to the purchaser of their old home. This is an attractive option if the rate on the existing mortgage is lower than current rates.

TRENDING-What’s IN:

MIXED METALSMixing warm metals, such as copper and rose gold, with cool ones like silver is particularly hot right now. Don’t match every metal finish it’s too staged looking and can flat line your design. Layer your metals in silver, gold and black metals it’s a riskier and more stylish option.

MOODY INDIGO Navy blues are gorgeous with white marble and mother of pearl, this colorway is a growing trend in luxury projects. Navy blue plays so well with other colors, like pink, cream, gray, coral and sage. Try Benjamin Moore’s Old Navy mixed with a little black, for your next navy blue scheme.

PAINTERLY RUGS Look for rugs that are visually fluid with irregular patterns breaks the grid of rectangular rooms and furniture. Look for area rugs in silk that shimmer and constantly change color.

SMOKY GLASS Clear is so last year, look to smoked glass to strike a tension between raw and refined, masculine and feminine. Yes, it’s a 70’s vibe, but a sexy one, the smokiness adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to an otherwise typical material.

GRAPHIC TILES Thanks to the allure of indoor/outdoor living, colorful concrete tiles continue to move from commercial to home spaces. It’s a perfect mix of graphic design meets interior design.

ENDING-What’s OUT:

CHEVRON PRINTS You know it’s time to kill a trend when

you can buy a Crock-Pot with a chevron pattern on it. As with any trend, there are

always exceptions to the rule, like this tighter more refined chevron pillow.

TEXT AS DÉCOR I never liked this trend, I tired of it quickly

because it was everywhere. French writing on linen is o-u-t, ditto with the

“Keep Calm” posters and the metal letters lit with light bulbs.

MIRRORED FURNITURE A mirrored accent piece can be

gorgeous, if used with restraint. Just don’t use the cheap mirrored furniture –

and yes, we can tell…

THE OMBRÉ LOOK Dip-dyed furnishings were a clever

way to update familiar shapes but now Pinterest is full of the sad, clichéd DIY results. Ombré fabric, will always be a décor classic, but chair legs dipped in paint are another thing entirely. Keep

ombré in the hair salon please.

rugs, these shaggy Moroccan black-and-whites are overexposed.

ALYSSA RICHARD is the Founder and

CEO of RateHub.ca – a financial product comparison site that

aims to empower Canadians to make smart

financial decisions.

Bank of Canada holds target rate – for nowThe Bank of Canada announced on March 4 it would leave its overnight lending rate at 0.75 per cent – for six more weeks, anyway. The rate has sat at this position only since Jan. 21, when the central bank made an unexpected rate cut, after holding it at one per cent for nearly 4.5 years.

The drop in 0.25 percentage points in January came as a surprise, as most economists had been predicting the opposite would occur some time in 2015. It was BoC’s way of attempting to shield highly indebted Canadians from the negative impacts in the energy sector, caused by the sharp drop in oil prices in the latter half of 2014. But it was also a signal for banks to drop their Prime rates, to stimulate the economy as a whole.

At the time, the banks expressed concern that dropping their rates would cause Canadians to take on more debt they couldn’t afford to repay, versus help those who were feeling the inch, so initially they chose not to budge. Eventually, they all dropped their Prime rates by 0.15 per cent, from three per cent to 2.85 per cent, but none have made a full 0.25-per-cent cut, as suggested by the central bank’s move.

According to our mortgage calculator, the additional 0.10 per cent that’s missing could lower our best five-year variable rate from two per cent to 1.9 per cent, which would result in a savings of $18/month or $1,080 over five years on a $400,000 home (the average price in Canada), with 10 per cent down and a 25-year mortgage. That may not sound like much, but it hurts to think about, when you know the banks have control and are choosing not to do it.

All of this is to say that some people predicted the Bank of Canada would further cut the overnight lending rate today, potentially by an additional 0.25 per cent. However, Governor Stephen Poloz says data from 2014 suggests we’ll

see stronger growth in non-energy exports and investments in 2015, and the central bank wants to wait and see how the economy responds to the first rate cut of the year, before making any further moves.

So, the overnight lending rate – and therefore Prime rates and your variable mortgage rates – are going to stay put. For now. But if the economy declines, we may see another cut. And if things continue to get better, we may see it go back up to one per cent – or more.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR SMART HOMEBUYERS

Buying a home is a big decision, so it’s no surprise that prospective purchasers are watching economic news closely. As home builders and renovators, we think it’s important to look beyond the headlines to understand the fundamentals behind the Edmonton region’s housing market.

First off, it’s important to understand that despite concerns about oil prices, Edmonton remains a strong market.

Home prices actually rose in January by 3.8 per cent from a year prior. Single-family homes were up three per cent while condo prices rose 5.5 per cent. Housing starts also rose in the first month of 2015 to 1,832 units compared with 776 units reported in the first month of 2014. Single-detached starts in Greater Edmonton increased in January by 15 per cent from a year earlier to 446 units.

While the number of homes for sale has risen to about 4,100 units, the total falls short of the industry-

accepted historical “balanced” MLS inventory of 5,000 to 6,000 units. Even if the increase in MLS listings continues, we are only transitioning from the sellers’ market of 2014 to a balanced market. A balanced housing market means both buyers and sellers are working within fair market values.

Today’s inventory is well less than half the level reached in the 2008 slowdown. Since then, new home builders have also learned to manage a leaner inventory of new home spec units so new homes do not inflate the number of homes for sale.

While the recent economic slowdown is undeniable, it is important to recognize that housing prices continue to be strong and a modest rise in prices is still forecast for 2015 by many in the industry.

Smart buyers will also recognize that delaying a planned purchase can be costly.

The costs of building a new home are on the rise, as builders face price increases primarily because the low Canadian dollar, raises the prices of materials imported from the U.S. While many builders are now absorbing these higher costs to maintain current new home prices, this will not last forever.

Interest rates remain at historically low levels and open the door to homeownership by more first-time buyers, while allowing all buyers to pay off debt faster and become mortgage-free sooner.

Looking beyond oil prices, it is important to recognize that Edmonton is better diversified now and our city’s economic landscape has the resiliency to maintain itself through the highs and lows better than ever.

Our industry is also experienced at responding to shifts in demand. To keep things in context, remember that Alberta starts rose above the 40,000 level in 2014 for the first time since 2007 and dipped as low as 20,000 in 2009.

CHBA members surveyed in January forecast housing starts would decline 15 per cent to 34,300 starts in 2015 but still exceed the five-year average of 32,500 units started between 2010 and 2014.

The old adage of “buy when the market is slow” has never been more applicable than now because current price levels, modest inventory growth and attractive interest rates will not last forever.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Alberta represents more than 1,500 business members, including new home builders, renovators, developers, trade and supply companies and professional services.

WESTCOMMUNITY PROFILE//

On the western edge of Edmonton, nestled between our thriving capital and the open spaces of the aspen

parkland, sits Hopewell Residential’s Secord, a neighbourhood that is already alive with amazing amenities and community spirit.

It’s a community of natural areas interrupted only by the meandering pathways and soothing water features. The philosophy for Secord is to complement the surrounding environment. There are three water features, including two ponds and a natural wetland. A mixture of young and mature trees and winding trails link the water, parks, playground and picnic areas. A municipal reserve and baseball diamonds enhance the open space and offer ample room to play.

SECORD – It’s already here

The community was named after Richard Secord, an Edmonton MLA in the early 1900s. He introduced a bill that resulted in the incorporation of Edmonton as a city, and his pioneering attitude certainly inspired Hopewell when they named this community.

Secord is a collection of townhomes, duplexes, laned homes and front-garage homes set in four large phases. There are four architectural styles throughout the neighbourhood, and each is unique yet complementary. Arts and Crafts brings

to life the English country cottage and a connection with the surrounding natural environment. Classical style borrows from the architects of Greece and Rome and uses symmetrical forms and refined details. The Craftsman Collection is an understated style that follows an efficient use of space, and Prairie Style is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and includes a subtle colour palette and expansive spaces.

There are a variety of show homes in Secord, each built by a team of award-winning builders who all share a common community vision: a beautiful, safe neighbourhood where families can enjoy a wonderful quality of life and a sense of home. Secord Corners and Secord Chalet offer townhomes from the $270’s, and Daytona Homes has duplexes from the low $300’s.

Incorporating a water feature into your home’s landscaping design is a welcome addition to a property’s overall appeal. � e soothing sights and sounds of running water are calming and can also mask unwanted noise such as nearby tra� c or neighbors. Water features of all kinds attract birds and other wildlife that are enjoyable to observe.

By adding plants, decorative rock or a custom koi pond to the water feature, you can create the illusion that you are o� somewhere in “nature” while sitting in the comfort of your own backyard.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONSDecide on the type of water feature. Ponds set into the ground, waterfalls, streams, large bubbler rocks – the choices are endless. You also have to choose the style of the feature, which ranges from completely natural looking, made with native materials, to highly formal. When you see a design you like, take a picture or clip it out and build a � le for future reference. What suits one gardener’s tastes may be unappealing or impractical for others. However, one thing is for certain – all water features will add beauty and movement to your landscape. Consider why you want to have a water feature and what’s most important to you. Is it simply to enjoy the beautiful sights and calming sounds? Does the prospect of growing plants in water intrigue you? Is a set of bubbler rocks on the frontyard your ideal? Having a clear picture in your head (and on paper) of what you hope to achieve will go a long way toward making sure it becomes a reality. Calling a quali� ed landscaping professional for some advice is a great place to start.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATIONStudy your space carefully and consult with your landscaping professional to determine the best place to situate your water feature. If possible, pick a location which can be viewed not only from your yard, but from the inside of your house, too, such as near the kitchen window or deck. After all, if you’re going to the trouble of adding a water feature, you might as well have multiple

opportunities to enjoy it. A quali� ed landscaping professional should have a photo album or a website, so you can easily view other projects and water features that have designed and constructed.

By taking some of this advice into consideration, the process of achieving the “yard of your dreams” will be easier. A quality outdoor living space will not only make you the envy of the neighborhood and be a welcome sanctuary for your family, children and pets for years to come, it will also increase the value of your home. It is important to hire a landscaping contractor who has extensive experience in the industry, and is a full service landscaping company.

From patios to water features, driveways, retaining walls, lighting, walkways, fences, irrigation, garden beds, boulders, barbecue, fire pits and the new synthetics grasses, we can help make your landscaping beautiful.

In our last article, we contemplated if Edmonton’s new housing market was on the path to being oversupplied – given record-setting construction levels amongst lowering expectations for Alberta’s economic growth and net migration rates.

By our definition, this is a situation where unabsorbed new housing units grow amidst a mounting supply of comparable product in the resale market. To clarify, this is not a situation where new housing absorptions and resale sales fall amongst normal inventory levels. The key differentiating factor is the former has led to price decreases for new real estate in the past, while the latter has only slowed the rate of price growth.

In the resale markets, inventory levels remain historically low despite increasing by 15% in January. Coinciding with this increase was an annual reduction in sales, but local realtors pointed to a lack of quality supply for this drop – not a lack of general interest in the market.

If their sentiment is true, there does not appear to be a lot of newly constructed comparable inventory in the resale market today. Furthermore, regional new standing inventory levels seem balanced as they are currently below the respective 5-year running averages – 459 vs. 470 for non-apartment units and 114 vs. 280 for apartments (CMHC).

Given the above, Intelligence House has concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to suggest the City’s new housing market is heading towards a position of oversupply in the resale market. However, this situation still calls for attention, as the fact remains that construction levels for non-apartment units in Edmonton are still 30% above its 5-year average, while condo construction has increased 58% by this measure.

Understanding the potential impact of this construction on future supply boils down to quantifying the number of constructing units that remain unsold. In December 2014, Intelligence House took part in an Edmonton city survey of new constructing product with this task in mind. As it stands, construction sell-through rates were 61% for single family homes, 79% for apartments, 72% for townhomes and 81% for duplexes. All of these measures align with absorptions that have kept this market’s supply in balance in recent years.

Area and product-specific reports based on this research are available on request.

LOWER OIL PRICES, ALBERTA’S ECONOMY AND NEW HOUSING CONSTRUCTION IN 2015 (PART 2)

Intelligence House is Edmonton’s newest and most innovative Real Estate Marketing Agency with a focus on strategic market intelligence which includes full research, marketing and sales services to the real estate industry.


In our last article, we contemplated if Edmonton’s new housing market was on the path to being oversupplied – given record-setting construction levels amongst lowering expectations for Alberta’s economic growth and net migration rates.

By our definition, this is a situation where unabsorbed new housing units grow amidst a mounting supply of comparable product in the resale market. To clarify, this is not a situation where new housing absorptions and resale sales fall amongst normal inventory levels. The key differentiating factor is the former has led to price decreases for new real estate in the past, while the latter has only slowed the rate of price growth.

In the resale markets, inventory levels remain historically low despite increasing by 15% in January. Coinciding with this increase was an annual reduction in sales, but local realtors pointed to a lack of quality supply for this drop – not a lack of general interest in the market.

Coloniale Estates In Beaumont. Distinctive Homes In A Golf Club Setting. There is something to enjoy about Coloniale Estates every day. It is the kind of place where neighbours become friends and kids have plenty of opportunity to run and play. This is an exclusive golf club community with favourable pricing that is hard to find in golf course communities.

In Coloniale Estates you’ll find great park spaces where neighbours can gather and enjoy each other’s company, walking/biking trails for short after-dinner strolls or energetic bike rides. In winter those trails function as cross country skiing opportunities. There are 5 schools in and around Beaumont, serving elementary and high school students. There are superb recreational facilities all around and shopping at the Montalet Mall, The Edmonton International Airport and the Grey Nuns Hospital are 15 minutes away.

The homes are all Detached Single Family Homes with 2-Car or 3-Car Tandem Garages, ranging in size from 1,480 Sq. Ft. to 2,681 Sq. Ft. Many of the exterior designs are unique to this community and reflect Mattamy’s ability to provide a variety of designs to make each street more interesting. Special features such as front porches also elevate the sense of friendliness in the community.

You Can Be Here In Minutes And You Can Live Here Right Now.In Coloniale Estates, Mattamy has a selection of Quick Possession Homes ready for sale so you and your family can live here sooner rather than later.

If golf course community living has been part of your vision of a dream home, then now is the time to come to Beaumont and visit the Coloniale Estates Sales Centre. You’ll find everything that you expected from a golf course community except for one thing: high prices.

All Mattamy homes also come with two trees and fully sodded yards, so the neighourhood is green not brown.

You’ll find that Mattamy builds homes that are worthy of your family memories.
