Faz and Arlene bought a new house

So Faz and Arlene bought a house in March which is yet to be built. They have now completed all of their supplier appointments and are patiently waiting for construction to begin.

The house that they have purchased is going to built by a company called Centrex Homes. A relatively new company, but they are owned by the Apex Builder Group. Faz and Arlene were a little concerned when they were about to sign the deal, but they have been comforted by the fact that Apex is owns another homebuilder called Excel Homes.

Apex has positioned both of these builders to capture most of the market. Excel's competitive advantage and market position is based on value and Centrex's is luxury. Apex seems like quite a neat company.

The model which Faz and Arlene have chosen is called the Trostan, and a review by the Calgary Sun is here. The pricing and location in the write up isn't correct (Faz and Arlene wish that they could've bought the house for that amount!)

Faz and Arlene have completed all of their house appointments for colors, trim, and finish. Throughout the process Faz was extremely helpful, and always made creative and constructive comments. In fact, Arlene wanted to kill him at least three times for reasons they can't mention.





Editors note: Faz is colorblind but made the best picks at most suppliers. Arlene, shocked because she dresses her husband daily, has decided to let him dress himself from now on.
