Ha, well clearly I'm not going to ignore resale value, all I'm saying is that I'm not going to only tailor my purchase for the sole purpose of selling it 20 years from now. What we have in mind isn't some whacky one-off house, we're going after a contemporary design that plenty of houses in Calgary are already doing. But yes, of course resale is considered....it's just not my #1 priority. Whether prefab is worth it, will of course all depend on the price. If you can build a prefab house for 100k less than a traditional process, then it's fine to take a similar hit on the sale end too.

I do need to look into the financing end of it to see if it makes a difference in terms of what's required. Good suggestion!

I just found out the Hive Modular guys will be at the Home show at the end of February. So hopefully that will at least provide an opportunity to answer some questions.
