 Canada's housing market is insane—can you write an intro along the lines: these are houses that work for a first time home buyer. 

Reference this report:  attribute it to the Real Estate Board of Canada http://www.crea.ca/housing-market-stats/quarterly-…

Rewrite these paragraphs (chop the hell out of them and make them sound less like a real estate board forecast): Recently tightened mortgage rules, higher mortgage default insurance premiums and an expected rise in mortgage interest rates all represent headwinds to affordability in all Canadian housing markets. It will be some time before their full impact on housing markets is evident.

In some regions, the recently tightened “stress test” for mortgage financing qualification will force some first-time buyers to re-think how much home they can afford and may lead to a drop in home purchases as they shop for a lower priced home. In regions where there is a shortage of lower-priced inventory, some sales may be delayed as buyers save longer for a larger down payment. In markets like Vancouver and Toronto, where single family homes are in short supply and there are few affordable options, some buyers may find themselves priced out of the market entirely. In Toronto, the stress test for mortgage qualification may prompt some buyers to move further out into communities located in the Greater Golden Horseshoe where homes are more affordably priced.

From the outside, we can see that this 1323 square foot house is detached with prefabricated elements. The model impresses in many ways. It is attractive in appearance but it is also very budget friendly! You wouldn't believe how cheap this house was to construct!

The interior has been tailored to the needs of a family of four and features a large, open plan living room and a social area where friends and family can spend time together. The designers of the house wanted energy efficiency so they have installed systems that allow for minimum energy consumption.
