Hey Cynthia -- congrats on your purchase. We have a Wild Rose C being built on Wettlaufer that also closes in March (they were working on our framing today).

One thing I did learn today from another Wild Rose C owner that I didn't know -- the area (black box) on the floor plan between the hallway closet and the garage door can most likely be opened after closing, and used as a broom closet -- you would have to re-drywall, frame, and put a small closet door on it. Apparently when the houses were made in factory, this was used as an avenue for duct work to go to the attic as the second floor heating came from the ceiling. Because ours are not made in the factory, this doesn't apply. In Bedroom 2, beside the shower, there is similarly unused space that could be re-used.

I'm not 100% on if this applys to mind, but I'll be sure to check it out during construction and frame walk. Never hurts to have more closet space! The upstairs one we'd probably turn into shelving in the bathroom for clean towels or something!

You'll know more definitively in December (18th should be when you are 90 days out) and they have to notify of a delay.

When we asked earlier in the Summer when they would start our foundation, they said they would start excavating 1st/2nd week of November, but instead started that mid-October. I think during Mattamy U they were saying they were between 2 and 4 weeks ahead on some of the properties in our area.

Its not mine, so I'm not spamming, but providing a link incase people wanted to see pictures of a WR B (it looks like it has the alternate living room and then alternate master/ensuite/walk-in)

That person is dreaming to think that they can get $650K for a 43' lot. It's competing with 56' lots with tons of upgrades and premium lots.

We were looking at this area before it was built and if I recall correctly there was a 50K lot premium on this one b/c it backs onto the ravine. Not saying they'll recoup the 50K premium today, but I do believe that was what Mattamy was charging.

Thanks for the insight Cynthia. We walked through the house and were pretty shocked by the price tag, but as you said, it does bump up demand and prices for future WR's. We're hoping to stay in ours for a good long while, but who knows what the future will bring.

Tragic to pickup the ravine lots and not get the back balcony. I highly reco it

Did you guys opt for the 3 bdroom + loft where you have that 8x14 ft walk in closet? I can't see otherwise how the balcony limited your closet space.

We look at this option but think the his & hers gives lots of room, and much prefer the extra bedroom for another kid/office etc.

Great house either way!

FSBO or through a realtor? Have a link or will we have to get Cythia to use her sleuthing skills

I think its the house just off Kelman, right? I think its yellow brick with the stucco? I think?

Hey Cynthia, I was driving in the area and saw your foundation -- have you gotten a delay notice or are they still confident to put something up for March?

Nice TnT. Good luck with the sale!

Love the Virtual Tour, nice pictures!

TnT -- your mom's place looks like a steal compared to this place. Yours is a C vs their A and for 50K less!

Wow- that's very interesting knowledge to have Cynthia- so I guess it pays to be on the other side of the tracks eh? I will have to keep that all in mind if we ever sell.

hi Cynthia, does that apply to all of the escarpment side, or, just vista?
