What to buy?

When I started off looking at model homes and visiting builders’ sites, I had no idea what I wanted to get. Nor did I realize how many different types of homes: terrace homes, urban townhomes, starter homes, village homes, widelot townhomes, etc. I wasn’t even sure of what size I wanted. One day, I felt like a 1100-1200 sq ft house would fit the bill and then on the next day, I wanted a 1800 sq ft house. Regardless, I knew I couldn’t afford a single home.

Then there was location. Well, at least this one was a bit easier. I definitely wanted to stay in the west end. So, either stay in central Nepean near my parents (Citipark, Central Park), Barrhaven where many of my friends are/will be moving or Kanata.

Over the next little while, I’ll be posting the houses I was looking at and what I did and didn’t like about them. Of course, that will include the Fernwater that I did end up buying. The builders that I picked up information for were: Claridge, Richcraft, Mattamy, Minto and Ashcroft
