I know I posted on here a while back about being mortgage free, now I am posting about building, go figure......

I was looking at lots this weekend and talking to a builder about options. There are 2 lots that interested me, one was a corner lot that would allow me to build a standard with a 3 car garage. The other was a lot that backed onto a green space that would allow for a walk out basement. The type of home would be the same with the same finishings but the walk out is about an extra 40K in price.

My question is; does a walk out onto a green space hold enough resale value in Calgary to make it work the extra capital up front VS the three car garage corner lot?

The area is Auburn Bay in the south.
