@the.mike.cole: The government wants to solve Canada's housing crisis with factory-built homes - but would you actually buy one? 🏗️ Here's my take on what it means for buyers in Brantford and Brant County. 👇 Mike Cole Sales Representative Coldwell Banker Homefront Realty, Brokerage 📱: (519) 777-5935 📞: (519) 756-8120 📩: [email protected] #BrantfordRealEstate #BrantCountyLiving #CanadaHousing #HousingAffordability #BrantfordHomes

Thatsuxxx🇨🇦🇺🇦 :

Our municipal bylaws don’t even allow those.

Mr Lee :

He wants Brookfield to build modular homes.

Meme_Mama72 🇨🇦 :

Mattamy did this in Cambridge, ON. We had one. They built our house in a factory and brought it over on a remote controlled skid thingy. It was pretty cool! The house itself was fine! No issues 🤷‍♀️

Living in Brantford :

They are built in temperature controlled factories so they can build all year round

ScottMac13🇨🇦 :

Brookfeild housing development

Luckyluc :

Incorrect the stigma is known as development fees from the government which are more than the contractor profits from a single dwelling

Vampire Alberta :

They are lower quality. They also pay the workers less. Workers on site already don't get paid enough.

tictokapple12 :

Like anyone trying to make top profit. Low quality is definite in modular homes. These homes shine with the new smell at first then deteriorate fast with zero character to fall on.

🇨🇦 Lorann Kerr🇨🇦🇩🇰 :

I lived in a modular home in CFB Cold Lake Alberta..2 bedroom, one floor, well insulated..it was great.

francethibeault22 :

Yep- we built one up north where labour shortages are a real issue

dmc69 :

What housing crisis. town house, appartment complexes, high rise , whole sub division on every available plot of land here. Factories galore, all new builds. Thousands of new homes being built on all farm land being sold. I don't see a housing shortage !

Lorraine In The Middle🇨🇦 :

There were never issues with people purchasing modular homes. No negativity about them until the Liberals suggested them. I'd buy a modular home because there is nothing wrong with them.

C2030 🇲🇰 :

Module homes are great if done right. But most usual do it to save money

Bob dot :

where ya putting them ? the plot of land is most times more expensive than the building.

happyretiree :

Mobile homes need to be added to that and rent controls on the fees

User0409776🍁🍁 :

Its 1 solution of many hopefully

🇨🇦 Elusive 🇨🇦🦫 :

Laurel :

awesome idea!

Nuttbarr :

modular war time houses of the second world war are still up and occupied.

dawnthompson8136🇨🇦 :

Have people seen the low quality of new homes being built? This does depend on the builder but there is a lot of shoddy work out there.

samandwill :

I lived in a modular home. it was built inside and it had two halves. it had a garage and it had a basement. it was wonderful. it was the best home I had because the walls were so thick that it kept you from the cold and the heat. it was a great great house

Cam 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 :

It’s a no brainer

JonnyBCYa! :

modular homes for some reason end up being pricey too these days

brendppofkz :

The condition of these homes does not age well. Traditional construction homes have a much longer life span.

wampwampwerefucked :

The designs ARE generic. BUT what they should do is build modular super energy efficient houses like Passive Houses or Net Zero. The problem is that they’re built to code which is lowest quality house that law will allow.
