Mattamy Home builder of the Year says the OHBA

If winning the J.D. Power and Associates award x 3 wasn't enough, Mattamy homes took home the honour of being the 2008 Home Builder of the Year Award from the association.

So you ask, "What does it take to win this prestigious award?"

The Toronto Star explains:

The Builder of the Year award is based on home buyer surveys and judging of aspects such as sales and marketing, floor plan design, community service, industry support and the ability to adapt to changing needs.

Bravo and kudos to Mattamy once again for putting the competition to shame!
They definitely know how to rack up the awards! Maple Leafs take note!

As well, this weekend Mattamy Homes has announced the Fall Special Savings Event where they are slashing prices to bailout all of the US financial institutions underwater!! Wait a minute, this sale has been going on for months now! :/

An "official" Announcement!.......(well not really)

Above is a picture of the sales centre site taken this afternoon. I spoke to a very friendly uniformed guard (pictured above) whom they have hired to monitor the site and asked if he knew when the construction would be done and he replied, "in about 2 weeks." When I asked him who told him that and if it was his boss he said, "Umm...Me...thats what I think." With a smile I said goodbye and he waved as I pull out of the lot.

So it looks like its official, he has made the announcement that in about 2 weeks the sales centre will be done...construction that is....and after that we can wait longer for grand opening while the sales centre building itself depreciates in value while the world prepares for an economic dive.

Luckily, we can also look forward to what transpired in this months Seaton Advisory Comittee meeting which re-adjourned this month after taking the summer months off. As soon as the minutes of that meeting have been posted I'm sure we'll have more insight as to what will happen for 2008.

Sorry for the sarcasm false hope in this post, theres just nothing much to write about...again...

We are the Champions, My Friend!

Back-to-back Champs, Mattamy Homes, took the crown once again in 2008 to complete the 3-peat for the J.D. Power and Associates trophy. For the 3rd straight year, Mattamy Homes has been number one in satisfying its new-home buyers.

Now, how 'bout we get the ball rolling on Creekside, Mattamy, and you'll have more satisfied customers to vote for you next year!!?!?! Novel idea huh?!

Furthermore,

The study also finds that the proportion of homes delivered "defect-free" has increased in the GTA market-up from 8 percent in 2007 to 12 percent in 2008. Builder quality efforts have resulted in a reduction in the total
number of construction problems noted by buyers-down to 21 per home in 2008 from
23 per home in 2007.
