Where to find foreclosed homes to buy in Australia?
Which manufactured home builder is the best? Anyone knows Cavco builder?
I am about to buy a new manufactured home but having a hard time to choose one. There are many builders out there such as Silvercrest, Skyline, Cavco, Champion, Golden West…etc. I kindda like Cavco but do not know much about their quality. Please advise on the best and the worst from the above mentioned builders. Thank you so much!!!
I’ve been doing alot of research to decide between a manufactured, modular, or site built home. If you can afford a modular home, that is better than a manufactured home. I looked at Cavco and decided on Palm Harbor, based on awards given out by other agencies, not just the manufactured housing industry. The National Home Builders Association, which is composed mostly of site built home builders, listed Palm harbor as an award winner. Also, the government EPA website site lists Palm harbor as an energy star certified builder. If you go to Yahoo Finance, Skyline and Cavco are on the stock exchange and you can look up annual reports on how the company is doing. Their competitors are listed, including Palm Harbor and Clayton. A modular home is built to the same code as a site built and qualifies for a home equity loan, so if you run into problems in your life later on, you could borrow against your home. You can’t do that with a manufactured home. Also, even a wind zone 2 manufactured home still has 2×3’s in it, a modular does not. If you do decide to go with a manufactured home, please consider upgrading to 2 x 6 walls and upgraded insulation. Just ask Cavco or Skyline what awards have they won in the industry and ask for a list of available upgrades. Focus on the structural upgrades and if the home you decide on has most of those upgrades, you are getting a high quality home. I don’t recall Cavco appearing on any of these websites but I remember Skyline received some favorable reviews and appears to have a high quality product. Whatever you do, please do not let anyone pressure you into signing a purchasing agreement on your home until you have all the costs. Even though Palm Harbor in my part of the country has the highest quality home for the money, the salesman tried to pressure me into signing a purchasing agreement and acted like the foundation, skirting, and hook ups were totally separate from the home. Don’t let them separate their home from these costs. From our point of view, the buyers, all these ingredients are the total cost of the home for us. Once you find a home you like, get them to give you a site evaluation on how much installing the home with all the hook ups & skirting will cost. Ask an open-ended question to the dealer as well as the installer: " Are there any other costs commonly associated with installing a home that we haven’t discussed?" I hope this will help you get to the bottom line faster and with more control at your end. For whichever dealer you decide one, once you sign the purchase agreement, you are at their mercy for all the hidden installation costs, unless you have this estimate. Hope all this helps.
Toronto Travel: Cabbage Town Festival 2009
Trying to catch the last few rays of summer, I hopped on my bike on September 12, 2009 to see whats going on in the city. My research had revealed that the Cabbagetown Festival was on, so on a gorgeous day with brilliant blue skies I cycled down the Don Valley bike path and pushed my bike up the steep bridge onto the Riverdale Footbridge.
Moments later I had arrived at Riverdale Farm which was buzzing with people. In addition to the regular visitors to this urban farm there were thousands of other visitors who were here to enjoy the Cabbagetown Festival. Children were participating in various games such as a sunflower seed spitting contest while some time later a country music band was making the young ones dance.
Officially called the Cabbagetown Arts & Craft Sale and Riverdale Farm Fair, this festival has been going for more than 20 years. In Riverdale Park I strolled past dozens of vending booths that were selling all sorts of art and crafts, from paintings to pottery to fine hand-made jewelry and fabric art to hand-made soaps and many other creative products.
The entire Cabbagetown neighbourhood had essentially become a big street sale because local residents were also holding garage sales on their front lawns. Vendor booths and live music were set up on Parliament, the major north-south thoroughfare which had been turned into a pedestrian zone. The entire neighbourhood was abuzz was visitors from near and far.
During the mid-afternoon I happened to come across a group of people that were intently listening to a local volunteer who was taking them on a free walking tour through the neighbourhood. I joined the group and learned many interesting things about one of Torontos most historic neighbourhoods.
Cabbagetowns original name was Don Vale, given that it was located adjacent to the Don River Valley. It was settled in the late 1840s, mainly by poor Irish immigrants that had come to Canada to escape the Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845 to 1852. Many of these settlers grew cabbages and other vegetables in their front yards and over time their neighbourhood acquired the pejorative nickname Cabbagetown.
Although Cabbagetown was originally a poor working class district and underwent a significant decline into the 1970s, today Cabbagetown is one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in Toronto. Gentrification saw many of the beautiful historic homes restored, and the attractive houses, large mature trees and well-tended flower-filled front yards combined with the proximity to downtown Toronto have made Cabbagetown one of the most coveted real estate districts in the city. Indeed, Cabbagetown is the largest continuous Victorian neighbourhood in all of North America.
Our guide also educated us about local building styles and important local personalities, for example the Lamb family whose estate is designated by a historical plaque. This family ran a large industrial business producing stove blackening, a greasy product made from animal fat to be used on Victorian era cooking stoves. This nasty smoke-belching behemoth was sitting right where beautiful Wellesley Park is sitting today.
We also learned that a streetcar was running along Winchester Street which was connected via bridge to the neighbourhoods over the Don Valley. The streetcar also took people to Torontos original zoo which closed in 1977. Today the streetcar tracks are long gone, but one of Cabbagetowns major historical landmarks is still located next to Winchester Avenue: the Toronto Necropolis, Torontos second oldest cemetery. Opened in 1850, it holds famous personalities such as William Lyon Mackenzie (Torontos first mayor), George Brown (founder of the Globe and Mail) and Joseph Bloor, a 19th century Toronto developer who founded the Village of Yorkville and after whom one of Torontos main thoroughfares, Bloor Street, is named.
After my tour I headed back to Riverdale Park to get some food from one of the vendors. After some Jamaican jerk chicken and some sweet ricotta-filled Mexican-style empanadas I was ready to take in the action on Parliament Street where local hip-hop artist Miles Jones was entertaining an enthusiastic crowd. Toronto serves up another great summer festival.
