  • Helping you manage life changes

    How mobile and tech-savvy are you?

    The decision to move is often

    triggered by a life event, such as a

    new job, a new addition to the family,

    or simply because you want a change

    of scenery.

    Whatever the reason, its important

    to address what your needs are before

    you start hunting for a new place,

    rather than during your search. With

    all the information available to you

    these days, its easy to get distracted.

    To keep you on track and up to

    date on the latest listings available

    across Canada, check out this issue

    and our new website, ypnexthome.ca.

    Not only will you fi nd an easy way to

    connect with prospective properties,

    youll be able to dig deep on details

    such as such as costs, neighbourhood

    information and much more.

    Deciding to move is easy its

    fi nding the right place that can often

    be challenging. Let us help.

    Drop us a line and let us know if

    you have any questions or comments.

    Wed love to hear from you.

    Theres an old joke in some home

    building circles that people spend

    more time researching a new wireless

    device than they do a new home.

    All laughter aside, this scenario is

    changing. Prices continue to rise, and

    even though interest rates currently

    make homebuying a comfortable

    transaction, more and more buyers

    understand the value of thorough,

    patient research.

    It still involves publications such

    as New Home Guide, because

    builders can present their new home

    communities in a way that shines in

    print, and in a medium people can

    digest over time and at their leisure.

    For many homebuyers, the process

    increasingly begins online when

    researching the fi nancial end of the

    equation notably mortgages.

    THERE ARE MANY home builders in

    the city, but not many can match

    the legacy of Jager Homes

    synonymous with quality, innovation

    and longevity with a 70th anniversary

    milestone coming up in 2017.

    What began with a single home

    built by Bill Jager in 1947, has grown

    to a company responsible for

    constructing fabulous single- and

    multi-family homes for generations

    of Calgarians. While many things have

    changed, the values of trust, integrity

    and passion continue to fuel new

    Property Profile | JAGER HOMES

    Jager Homes synonymous with quality, innovation and longevity

    home development at Jager Homes

    and the satisfaction of surpassing

    customer expectations is as important

    now as 68 years ago.

    Everyone at Jager Homes cant

    say enough about the pride they feel

    being part of that kind of legacy,

    says Jager marketing director Gina

    Roland. It feels great to be involved

    with a company that can offer

    consumer confidence, as well as job

    security, in a fragile economy. Jager

    Homes is still here, still setting the

    bar for quality.

    cover story

    Although its hard to keep track

    of that kind of history, we estimate

    youll find approximately 15,000

    Jager Homes in roughly 46 Calgary

    communities, Roland says. Were

    seeing third generations purchasing

    Jager homes, and we cant hear

    enough I grew up in a Jager Home.

    Jager Homes General Manager

    Joe Roland is proud to say he worked

    for Bill Jager in both the homes and

    land divisions in the late 1990s, and

    took away profound knowledge

    through his experiences at a time

    when Jager Homes and Jager Land

    were leading the way in Calgary

    development; the type of experiences

    that made Jager what is was then and

    what it still is today.

    With years of combined experience,

    the Jager team has a solid plan for

    the future and is looking forward to

    some exciting projects, maintaining

    a manageable size so homes and

    customers receive even greater

    care, and doing what it does best

    building quality homes that last

    generations.

    Jager Homes has crafted a wide

    range of homes over the years, and

    is currently building starter, detached

    garage, attached garage move-up

    and luxury homes featuring designs

    THERE ARE MANY home builders in

    the city, but not many can match

    the legacy of Jager Homes

    synonymous with quality, innovation

    and longevity with a 70th anniversary

    milestone coming up in 2017.

    What began with a single home

    built by Bill Jager in 1947, has grown

    to a company responsible for

    constructing fabulous single- and

    multi-family homes for generations

    of Calgarians. While many things have

    changed, the values of trust, integrity

    and passion continue to fuel new

    Property Profile | JAGER HOMES

    Jager Homes synonymous with quality, innovation and longevity

    home development at Jager Homes

    and the satisfaction of surpassing

    customer expectations is as important

    now as 68 years ago.

    Everyone at Jager Homes cant

    say enough about the pride they feel

    being part of that kind of legacy,

    says Jager marketing director Gina

    Roland. It feels great to be involved

    with a company that can offer

    consumer confidence, as well as job

    security, in a fragile economy. Jager

    Homes is still here, still setting the

    bar for quality.

    cover story

    Although its hard to keep track

    of that kind of history, we estimate

    youll find approximately 15,000

    Jager Homes in roughly 46 Calgary

    communities, Roland says. Were

    seeing third generations purchasing

    Jager homes, and we cant hear

    enough I grew up in a Jager Home.

    Jager Homes General Manager

    Joe Roland is proud to say he worked

    for Bill Jager in both the homes and

    land divisions in the late 1990s, and

    took away profound knowledge

    through his experiences at a time

    when Jager Homes and Jager Land

    were leading the way in Calgary

    development; the type of experiences

    that made Jager what is was then and

    what it still is today.

    With years of combined experience,

    the Jager team has a solid plan for

    the future and is looking forward to

    some exciting projects, maintaining

    a manageable size so homes and

    customers receive even greater

    care, and doing what it does best

    building quality homes that last

    generations.

    Jager Homes has crafted a wide

    range of homes over the years, and

    is currently building starter, detached

    garage, attached garage move-up

    and luxury homes featuring designs

    Showhome Review | SHANE HOMES

    Buyers get more for their money with zero lot line homes

    in Nolan HillNEW-HOME BUYERS are embracing

    the opportunity to save money and

    get a larger home on a smaller lot with

    Shane Homes zero lot line models in

    northwest Calgarys Nolan Hill.

    Buyers like that they can get more

    for their money by buying a home on

    a zero lot line, says Dave Gearey, co-

    area manager with Glenn Jorgensen.

    They can get a large home with a

    front attached double garage at a

    more affordable price because the

    lot is narrower. There is also less

    maintenance because there is one

    less side yard to worry about.

    Jorgensen says they have a large

    variety of models that can be built on

    theses zero lot line lots, and we have

    a good selection of lots available,

    including walkouts and over-sized

    pie-shaped lots.

    In addition to zero lot lines, new-

    home buyers can also choose from

    standard lot sizes as well.

    Gearey notes one of the most

    popular models is the Orion II, one of

    the two showhomes along with the

    Ladera. The Orion II comes standard

    at 1,947 sq. ft., but it can easily be

    increased in size depending on the lot

    the showhome is 2,067 sq. ft.

    The Orion II offers some of the best

    features from one of our most popular

    plans, Gearey says. People love the

    functionality and that it has features

    you typically find in a larger home

    such as the main floor den, which

    you can actually reduce the size of to

    create a walk-through pantry, which is

    very popular. We also have the ability

    to customize our floorplans to meet

    the lifestyle needs of our customers.

    From the entry, youll enjoy the bright

    and spacious feel created by the nine-

    ft. ceilings to the grand view through

    to the rear of the home, made possible

    by the open staircase. The foyer offers

    room for a bench or hall table and the

    tile floor presents an inviting clean look.

    Adjacent to the foyer entrance, there

    is a mud room and half-bath as well as

    the main floor study.

    At the rear of the home, is a deluxe

    kitchen that people rave about,

    Gearey says. The kitchen wows

    people with the chimney style hood

    fan, built-in stainless steel appliances,

    large island with breakfast bar seating,

    quartz countertops and abundant

    cabinets including the built-in wine

    rack and open shelf on the bottom

    of the upper cabinets which is

    convenient as well as attractive.

    Across from the kitchen, the great

    room is warmed by a corner fireplace

    surrounded in wood tile and topped

    with a deep mantle. Beside the

    kitchen, the extended nook ensures

    plenty of room for casual or formal

    dining and a single door to the rear

    deck makes it easy to dine outdoors.

    Upstairs, the owners suite offers

    substantial space to accommodate

    king-sized furniture and a luxurious

    ensuite that features a granite-topped

    vanity with dual sinks and built-in

    make-up table, corner soaker tub,

    walk-in shower, juice bar and a large

    walk-in closet.

    The upstairs ensuite gets a lot of

    positive comments; people like that

    it has plenty of counter space, and

    that its granite, which is standard with

    us, and having extra upper and lower

    cabinets for storage with the juice bar.

    Down from the owners suite are

    two generously sized secondary

    bedrooms, a main full bath and a

    good-sized laundry room.

    The bonus room adds to the homes

    appeal with its impressive size that

    Unwrapping a special gift from a loved one.

    All these and more are magical moments of

    the holidays that you will come to treasure while

    celebrating Christmas in your new home.

    But, if youve bought a new home earlier this

    year with the idea to move in by Christmas,

    before you can enjoy these moments youre

    going to be dealing with the stress of moving on

    top of the holidays.

    Moving is often stressful all on its own with

    handling packing, unpacking and ensuring

    the home is ready for your family without the

    addition of thinking about preparing for the

    festive season.

    Not to mention that it can be hard on young

    children who worry about whether Santa can

    fi nd their new address. So youll need to take

    the time to reassure them and keep up your

    youngsters favourite holiday traditions to make

    them feel that all will be well.

    Once youve gone through the fi nal

    inspection with your builder and have taken

    possession of your new home, the race to move

    begins. One of the best ways to minimize the

    stress is to be organized. Write out of list of

    everything that needs doing and check things

    o once tasks are completed.

    Also, rather than tackling the move yourself,

    enlist the help of friends and family or, better

    yet, hire a professional to do the packing and

    unpacking to lessen your load and stress.

    Knowing that Christmas is around the corner,

    heres a good idea for packing: Make sure your

    Christmas decorations are packed together

    and clearly marked so they are easily accessible

    when you get to your new home. This way even

    if you dont get around to unpacking everything,

    youre able to still decorate your new home with

    festive cheer.

    Take the stress out of moving into your new home for Christmas

    If this is your fi rst home and you dont have decorations, keep

    things simple. Hang a wreath on the front door, put up a tree (even

    a small one), set out red and green scented candles and play some

    Christmas music this will make your new home seem more festive

    and comfortable.

    Theres also a lot to be said for buying all new decorations its a

    new home so why not go with a new look?

    With stacks of boxes left to unpack you may also fi nd it di cult to

    entertain friends and family, so, again, keep it simple. Have some egg

    nog or other festive cheer on hand, serve an already-made tray of

    cheese and crackers and/or veggies and dip that you can get at the

    store and you have the makings of a party.

    Further: dont agonize over cooking the traditional Christmas meal

    when your dishes, pots and pans still need unpacking. Rather than

    stress yourself consider options such as ordering in a festive meal or

    having take out. You can still make a simple meal festive by adding

    candles and a colourful paper tablecloth and napkins to the table.

    Alternatively, partake in a Christmas dinner at the home of another

    family member or friends that would take all the pressure o trying

    to put something together.

    An added bonus to moving in at Christmas time is that it gives your

    family a chance to start some new traditions and celebrate a new

    beginning in a new home. Take the time to record the event so you

    have lasting memories of the fi rst Christmas in your new home

    one that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

    IN A CITY WITH a big heart and warm

    embrace, Genesis Builders Group has

    felt right at home for almost a decade

    now. Looking at the current situation

    overrun in Alberta, the company

    thought that it would be nice to give

    a little something back to the people

    and communities that have been

    supportive over the years since it

    began building homes in 2006.

    Buyers who purchase a new

    Genesis home between Nov. 1 and

    Dec. 31, 2015 would receive $5,000

    for holiday gifts and to make their

    season merry and bright.

    Its true! Imagine what you could

    do with $5,000 to buy presents for

    loved ones, or even to deck out

    your home-halls and all-with brand

    new furniture. Its our gift to you,

    and the choice is yours.

    Additionally, with every home

    sold, the company will deliver even

    more comfort and joy with a $5,000

    donation to a community school, or

    the charity of your choice. Now thats

    the spirit of the season!

    And theres more! For every

    like, share or retweet about this

    cheery o er using the hashtag

    #GenesisGivesJoy, the company

    will donate $1 to Nose Creek

    Elementry School in its Bayside Pier 11

    community in Airdrie!

    These are tough times for

    Calgarians, and we wanted to do

    something special, says Bruce

    Rudichuk, president & CEO, Genesis

    Land Development Corp. We have

    created a great opportunity for

    people to get into the home of their

    dreams and, at the same time, show

    our support for the schools and

    charities within and surrounding our

    communities. It feels like it is the right

    thing to do given the economy and

    time of year.
