Calgary Real Estate News

The Calgary public now has the chance to live in the innovative Discovery 4 house, which was co-developed at SAIT. This house, and its sister Discovery 5, was built on the SAIT campus for research, testing and demonstrating the newest, cutting-edge environmentally efficient houses, in partnership with Avalon homes. Discovery 4 is Avalon’s first ever net-zero home. There has been a lot of interest in the home, according to Alex Zahavich, director of Applied Research and Innovation at SAIT. The main attraction to the house is the whole “green” aspect, said Zahavich. The fact that electric and heating costs of the house are lower is also an attraction, he said.

In an article from the Calgary Herald, Avalon president and CEO, Ryan Scott said “this home generates at least the same amount of energy it consumes.” Want to read more in depth on this article? Just click the link below.

Home Prices Can’t Keep Increasing, Despite Low Interest Rate Environment

Calgary Real Estate News

TORONTO – Canadian home prices spiked unexpectedly by as much as 7.8 per cent in the most recent quarter, but such dramatic increases aren’t likely to last, according to a housing report released Wednesday.
