KEY FACTORS FOR LEADING EDGE HOMES

A New Performance Benchmark for the Industry

7

STRENGTH MATTERS

6

EFFICIENCY IS IMPERATIVE

The materials and process used to build a new home dramatically affect the strength of that home. Make sure your home starts with a strong foundation built to the unique needs of the lot’s soil. Then, be sure to use engineered lumber throughout the home, and add spray foam to the walls to strengthen them further.

Energy efficient homes use minimal energy to stay very comfortable. Triple pane low-e argon filled windows combined with spray foam insulation make a great building envelope. A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and Tankless Hot Water System are also key technologies. Energy efficient homes create a win-win-win: for the earth, your pocketbook, and your family’s comfort.

5

DURABILITY DRIVES VALUE

A home is your largest investment. You can live in a durable home for much longer with minimal maintenance costs, and enjoy a home that shows little wear and tear. Millimetre precision (from building with cutting edge technology without harsh outdoor weather or human error) as well as unmatched strength (through spray foam insulation and engineered lumber) is key to a durable home.

LandmarkHomes.ca it’s what’s inside

4

HEALTHY HOMES HELP YOU

Air pollution, radiation from technology, and toxins in our food and body products give our bodies enough work. Why not lighten your body’s load by having a home with a great building envelope that protects you from outdoor pollutants and allergens? Also make sure your home’s building OSB is free of carcinogenic urea-formaldehyde, only use water based lacquer, and choose paints and grouts low in VOCs. Additionally, opt for spray foam insulation, as it mitigates mould growth.

3

PRECISION IS PARAMOUNT

2

SUSTAINABILITY MAKES SENSE

1

STYLE IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

The precision with which each part of your home fits together has a huge impact on how well it can function - from keeping the air healthy to minimizing energy requirements. A home’s every piece and part needs millimetre precision.

This requires talented people doing their best work with the help of leading edge technology like climate controlled building space, robotics with millimetre precision, mechanical muscle, and engineered lumber. People plus technology create a home of uncompromised quality.

Sustainability means that all humans and natural systems can continue to have living conditions and enough resources to flourish forever. We build homes that last using building methods that are easy on the earth, like sourcing safe local materials that last, minimizing construction waste and demand for natural resources, and crafting homes with reduced energy demands – or that produce their own energy using solar power!

The expression of style through the most visible layer of a home is very important. Our in-house team of cutting edge professional Interior Designers ensure that every Landmark Home has sublime style. But, just like people, the most beautiful homes are gorgeous inside and out. We love putting the stylish finishing touches on our homes because they express the beauty of what’s inside them: strength, efficiency, durability, health, precision and sustainability.

//EDITOR’S NOTE

Three simple steps to success Consider these pointers before heading out on your search

S

SUSAN LEGGE

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Yellow Pages NextHome

hopping for a home online is a great way to narrow your search, but there’s nothing like visiting the sites, models and sales offices to get down to the nitty-gritty. Before you venture out, here are some pointers: First, be clear about what you want and expect in a new home and in your builder.

Remember, the range of prices in the new-home market generally reflects differences in location, features and home styles. There’s no magic involved. If a builder’s pricing seems out of whack with others in the area, ask for an explanation. Higher prices could mean better quality materials, finishings, features and service. Make

sure that the price you are paying will deliver the quality you want.

Second, understand exactly what is included with the home you are buying and what is optional. Ask the sales representative to show you samples, and request a “spec” sheet that clearly lists what is included, as well as any upgrade options.

Third, evaluate any promises that have been made during your visit. Is the builder prepared to put them in writing? Hearsay comments should not be included as part of your evaluation process. Sit down with your sales representative, ask questions and discuss your Agreement of Purchase and Sale in detail – then take it to a lawyer before it’s finalized.

Know your builder – and your warranty

Understand what’s covered and what’s not

I

WAYNE KARL

t was about this time last year that parts of Alberta were facing severe rainfall and flooding, and homeowners were learning the hard way about home insurance and new-home warranties. Indeed, you wouldn’t dream of buying a new car, TV or other big-ticket item without first inquiring about the manufacturer’s warranty. But when it comes to buying a new home, you should be even more diligent.

Some people may be so excited about their purchase that they’re more interested in choosing finishes

than reading the fine print of a sales agreement. Or maybe they assume all builders are created equal, and that certain things are covered, when in fact they may not be. Or it might be a lack of awareness of just how newhome warranties work.

Just like for cars or electronic devices, all manufacturers and products are not created equal.

Learning about your new-home builder’s warranty – before the time when you actually may need it – is a crucial part of the homebuying process.

The Estates

at Waters Edge R

ecreational 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 activities, 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 gatherings, 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 turnaround 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 undeveloped lot and construct with their preferred builder as long as the proposed design fits within the architectural and landscaping guidelines.

16 NEW HOME GUIDE | JUN 5 - JUL 3, 2015

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.

//INDUSTRY UPDATES – CHBA - ALBERTA

What today’s buyers want in their new homes » by JIM RIVAIT

JIM RIVAIT

Jim Rivait is Chief Executive Officer of CHBA – Alberta. Starting his career working in government, Jim spent the last decade working in the private sector specializing in government relations, advocacy, strategic communications, policy development/analysis and association management.

24

What do today’s new-home buyers want? Answers to that question and many more are found in a new survey of Canada’s new-home buyers.

The CHBA Home Buyer Preference Survey reveals new data in more than 50 areas of home design, building features, buying preferences and demographics. Conducted by Avid Ratings Canada, the survey is based on responses from more than 12,000 recent buyers, so it provides a lot of solid data to help builders understand and satisfy a broad range of customer needs.

Start with the question of who is buying new homes.

Nearly half are members of Generation X (the one that came after the Baby Boomers) with Millennials representing another 38 per cent of buyers.

Single couples with no kids are the largest group buying new homes. They are just one of the distinctly different categories of buyers. New homes also attract singles, growing families with children, downsizing families, semi-retired or retirees seeking a mixed-age or age-restricted communities, investors, and vacation home buyers.

Quality and energy efficiency are areas where buyers don’t want to compromise but a fi fth of buyers will choose a smaller home to lower costs. The most popular choice of house style on the market remains a two-story single-family home.

Walk-in closets and energy efficient appliances top the “must-have” list for new-home buyers.

Buyers also want their new community to provide the same high quality of life as their new home.

Walking and cycling paths, parks and recreation centres and fully landscaped communities lead the way for the majority of consumers.

When it comes to finding their dream home, Canadians have embraced the power of technology – regardless of age. An overwhelming 85 per cent of Canadians start searching online and more than half find social media a useful tool.

The new computer tools that allow buyers to see how their home will look are a hit with almost all buyers. House hunters are also reaching beyond the traditional circle of friends and family for opinions about what to buy, with 89 per cent using online customer reviews to guide their decision.

These are just a sampling of the findings from the latest homebuyer preference survey.

Successful home builders are always looking for ways to be at the leading edge of the marketplace as well as keeping on top of code changes and introduction of innovative new fi xtures and appliances.

Customer surveys offer valuable insights that professional homebuilders such as CHBA members use to offer their Edmonton customers – of all different kinds – the right home at the right price.

Th is was the fi rst year for the CHBA/Avid survey, but it won’t be the last. Smart builders know that the foundation of customer satisfaction is understanding what today’s new-home buyer wants and needs.

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. Find a local builder at the CHBA Edmonton region website chbaedmonton.ca

TAKIN’ IT OUTSIDE…

BY C. MARIE HEBSON

As a Canadian, and an avid BBQ’er, my back yard is just as important to me as my kitchen.

A well-thought out exterior design will give you years of enjoyment. For your next outdoor project, put it to paper first with these important tips.

1. M ake your backyard a destination. Budget for your yard like you do your interior, include the accessories that make it comfortable, like furniture and lighting. We tend to forget about the soft stuff for outside.

2. Be eco-conscious: Use less expensive pressuretreated lumber for structure. Incorporate environmentally-friendly materials like concrete, which is sustainable.

3. Think outside the box. Run your fence boards horizontally for a contemporary feel, add whimsical statues, or hang outdoor artwork.

Remember, less is more, bigger is better – don’t over crowd your yard with “small stuff”.

4. Invest in perennials and plant in rich, new soil rather than purchasing new plants every year. Chosen well, some grasses, bushes and trees can provide lovely texture and colour all-year round.

34 NEW HOME GUIDE | JUN 5 - JUL 3, 2015

5. Buy the best outdoor furniture you can.

Consider it as an investment. Take into consideration the style, don’t purchase modern furniture for a victorian home and garden.

6. Bring on the Light. Lanterns, candles, floor lamps. Layer your light with solar powered step lights, path lights, overhead chandeliers and the latest in illuminated furniture, shown here from Home Infatuation.

7. Have a space for storage – very important to store your furniture and cushions somewhere safe for the winter to be used over and over again.

8. Bring on the heat! Overhead or tower heaters, fireplaces, fire pits, are all great ways to extend our time outdoors during the summer/fall season. Please be safe, check our city’s fire codes before you build your fire pit at: http://www.edmonton.ca/for_residents/ emergency_services/fire-pits-safety.aspx

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

01 02 03

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

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

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.

36 NEW HOME GUIDE | JUN 5 - JUL 3, 2015

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 firsttime buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05

Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

06 07

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

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.

» 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.

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%.

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

Because of flexibility, 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 flexible 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.

HOUSING VALUATIONS

Who and what to believe? » by WAYNE KARL For homeowners, when someone says your home is drastically overvalued, naturally, you worry. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, such news might cause you to delay your purchase. That’s the power of housing valuations.

The problem is, who and what to believe?

WAYNE KARL

is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and business. In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics of buying property.

Email wayne.karl@ ypnexthome.ca or follow him on Twitter atTwitter. com/WayneKarl

Here are some recent examples of Canada’s housing valuations, from a variety of sources: Deutsche Bank: overvalued by 60 per cent Bank of Canada: overvalued by 30 per cent International Monetary Fund: overvalued by 11 per cent TD Bank: overvalued by 11 per cent Canadian housing economist Will Dunning: undervalued by nine per cent With such a wide variance in valuations, and using differing measures, who to believe, indeed?

“Far too many foreign economists try to make overly simplified statements about foreign housing markets they don’t understand enough about,” Calum Ross, mortgage broker and real estate investor, told New Home Guide.

“Above and beyond the traditional measures, there are a number of less tangible measures, such as the stability of social, political and economic systems at the federal, provincial and municipal level.

“Canada represents one of single largest countries in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada is home to a very diverse group of people with local economics that are vastly different,” Ross says. “Saying there is a Canadian housing market is no less ridiculous than saying there is ‘Canadian temperature.’”

Thankfully, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC) added some context recently in its House Price Analysis and Assessment (editor’s note: for more information, flip to page 56), which provided a market-by-market snapshot

by Canada’s larger centres. The report attached a risk level – low, moderate or high – for the major cities, using risk factors of overheating, acceleration in house prices, overvaluation and overbuilding.

With Regina and Winnipeg, of all places, being the only major centres earning “high risk” assessments, CMHC’s

46 NEW HOME GUIDE | JUN 5 - JUL 3, 2015

report reminds everyone that housing markets must be assessed on a micro level, not wide-swathing national viewpoints. Canada’s most expensive market, Vancouver, earned a “low risk,” while Toronto, the other market often mentioned in conversations about overvaluation, was ranked as “moderate risk.”

“From a pure economic theory standpoint, when interest rates are low, then real asset prices will go up,” says Ross. “Real estate is one of the most interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the global economy. When it comes to mortgages, what we know is that people have a tendency to buy payments and be less concerned with total debt. The lower interest rates and longer amortizations allow for lower payment and as long as payments stay affordable – many people won’t get caught up with the sticker shock of more expensive real estate prices.”

So, who to believe, next time you see a report on Canada’s housing valuations?

Well, a Canadian source such as CMHC is a good start. Otherwise, as experts stress, remember to look at your individual market for a clearer indication, not the national assessment.

//MAKE YOUR MOVE

Be prepared on moving day » by CHUCK RESNICK

CHUCK RESNICK

is vice-president, marketing and operations at Two Men and a Truck – Canada

June 30 is the busiest moving day of the year. If you’re planning to move on that day, it is time to book your mover now.

Two Men and a Truck - Canada has created guidelines to help customers make any moving day as stress-free as possible.

One approach that works well is to empty a closet a couple weeks before the move and place items you know you will need on moving day into that space. It’s great to leave your current place looking good, so cleaning supplies are a must, and you don’t want to be hunting around for them. You’ll want a broom, dustpan, mop, your vacuum, some sort of all-purpose cleaner and cleaning rags and towels. Put cleaning items and towels in a large bucket or plastic bin with a lid to keep them separate from your other stuff.

In your new place, have toilet tissue ready for each bathroom, along with hand soap and towels. Remember easy-to-serve snacks, water bottles, a first-aid kit, facial tissues and toys such as colouring books and crayons for the little ones.

Basic kitchen items will be handy too, such as dish

detergent, a sponge, plastic garbage bags, paper towels, paper plates and cups, a kettle and maybe a cooler. Remember a note pad, pen, scissors and pertinent phone numbers you may need, such as utilities companies (for both ends of the move), family members, real estate agent, lawyer and cable company. You’ll also need basic tools.

Think about the first 24 hours in your new place. You’ll need linens, soap, alarm clock, a change of clothes, phone chargers, important papers and money.

Be sure that your survival items are packed into the moving van last or transported in your vehicle with you.

When you arrive, you’ll be fully prepared to begin life in your new home.

//HOMEBUYERS’ HELP

Water features…

THE CHOICES ARE ENDLESS » by SHANE’S LANDSCAPING & CONTRACTING LTD. Incorporating a water feature into your home’s landscaping design is a welcome addition to a property’s overall appeal. The soothing sights and sounds of running water are calming and can also mask unwanted noise such as nearby traffic 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 off somewhere in “nature” while sitting in the comfort of your own backyard.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS Decide 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 file 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 qualified landscaping professional for some advice is a great place to start.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Study 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 56 NEW HOME GUIDE | JUN 5 - JUL 3, 2015

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 qualified 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.

Shane’s Landscaping & Contracting Ltd. is locally owned and specializes in residential, estate and acreage landscape construction.

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.

MANY CANADIANS LOOKING TO LOCK IN

a long-term mortgage

Canada’s continuing low interest rate environment has Canadians thinking now is the time to lock in a longterm mortgage.

A new poll from CIBC reveals the majority of Canadians, 74 per cent, would opt for a medium or long-term mortgage if they were to acquire, refinance or renew a mortgage today.

Twenty-seven per cent think now is the time to look beyond the traditional five-year fixed mortgage for a term of up to 10 years.

“Canadians are recognizing that today’s historically low rates won’t last forever and some are looking for ways to bring predictability to their finances over the long term,” says Barry Gollom, vice-president, mortgages and lending at CIBC. “Most Canadians tend to opt for a fixed rate over five years when choosing a mortgage today. With more than one in four Canadians now saying they would choose a longer term of seven or 10 years, we may be seeing the start of a shift to longer terms.”

Canadians are recognizing that today’s historically low rates won’t last forever and some are looking for ways to bring predictability to their finances over the long term

BENEFITS OF A LONG-TERM MORTGAGE

Locking in to a fixed rate, medium or long-term mortgage can reduce the stress that can come with following interest rates.

“If interest rates rise in the next year or two, homeowners with shorter term mortgages or variable rate mortgages could see their payments move higher,” Gollom says. “Having a medium or longer term fixed rate can act as a measure of stability and protection – especially for those who have recently bought their first home.”

The prospect of rising rates may not be something Canadians have to worry too much about in the near term.

During its interest rate announcement on May 27, the Bank of Canada announced it was going to hold its overnight lending rate at 0.75 per cent.

“The overnight rate has only been sitting at 0.75 per cent for a little less than three months now, after Governor Stephen Poloz finally decided to cut it down from the one per cent it had held steady at for nearly 4.5 years,” says Alyssa Richard, founder and CEO of RateHub.ca. “That decision was made in January, in an attempt to shield highly indebted Canadians from the negative impacts of the significant drop in oil prices (and job losses that have occurred as a result).”

CIBC says the shift to longer term, fixed rate mortgages signals growing interest by Canadians to gain greater control and certainty over their largest financial obligation. With a consistent and predictable mortgage payment at today’s low rates guaranteed for many years, Canadians may have the opportunity to pay down their mortgage faster and minimize interest costs, which will help to keep them on track for their broader financial goals.

“Finding an expert who can crunch the numbers on a variety of mortgage options while factoring in your other debts, your savings goals and your personal risk tolerance is an extremely important part of the evaluation process,” says Gollom.

CANADIANS’ MORTGAGE MOOD

» 47 per cent would choose a medium term mortgage (three or five years) if they were to acquire, refinance or renew a mortgage today » 7 per cent would opt for a longer term (seven or 10 years) » 19 per cent would go with a shorter term (one or two years) » 62 per cent of Canadians with a mortgage believe it will be at least 10 years before they are mortgage-free, making it possible to choose a longer term such as a 10-year fixed rate

This K-9 school will be located just one block away from the Adelaide showhome and will offer new residents an excellent educational facility for their family with the added benefit and convenience of having their children nearby throughout the school year.

The main floor space features wide-paneled hardwood floors with an ashy undertone that complements the home’s grey-toned walls and creates an overall designer feel in the home.

The Adelaide’s living and dining area showcases a kitchen that is perfect for entertaining. This beautifully planned area combines stylish design elements with high quality stainless steel Whirlpool appliances.

Flat panel cabinets frame the kitchen in an earthy grey tone and pop against the bright white subway tiled backsplash. A large island showcases gorgeous granite countertops in the kitchen area. This island is the transitional piece that leads to the dining area, which offers enough bar seating to comfortably fit four. Backing off of the kitchen is a bright dining area that is surrounded by windows and provides access to the back patio.

This home’s garage offers some extra storage space for homeowners with its “toy box” – an

area that is big enough to store outdoor activity items, such as a motorbike or kayak. A significantly sized pantry with plenty of shelving for storing kitchen goods, large closet for seasonal items, convenient bench, plus built-in storage cubbies are all found in this area.

The impressive second floor of this Averton home includes a substantially sized bonus room with plenty of space for seating and entertainment unit. The exceptionally sized master bedroom features a luxurious ensuite with His and Her vanities, a beautiful freestanding soaker tub, and acrylic tiled shower with aqua board surround.

The laundry room features front load washer and dryers and is sure to please homeowners with its ideal location near the bedrooms. Next to the master bedroom are two additional bedrooms, both offering plenty of closet space and oversized windows. Completing the second level of the home is a second bathroom that features a fiberglass soaker tub with surround.

This Averton home is expertly designed and filled with exceptional details, including a 96 per cent high efficiency forced air heating system, central Vacuum rough-in, and Rockport profile interior door. With a starting price of $530,000 and a location that is ideal for a growing family, the Adelaide in Prescott is sure to be a coveted destination for homebuyers!
