A handful of modular homes should be up for sale in the Town of Taber’s The Meadows housing development by the end of the month.

At their Feb. 27 meeting, town council reviewed the January 2023 Progress Report for The Meadows, which detailed recent developments for the project.

Four modular homes have been purchased and installed, and they are currently getting prepped with skirting and decks. Several required renovations to get them ready for re-sale which is currently underway. 

Coun. Joanne Sorensen inquired when the modular units would be available for sale to the public.

“Right now, all four units are undergoing renovations, to either a minor or larger extent,” said Chris Eagan, director of planning and community services. “All four units are used units, and so material delivery has become an issue, which is why three of the four are not yet completely skirted and work still remains to do on the inside of the homes. The best guess – and it is literally a guess at this time due to material delivery issues – is the end of this month we plan to have all four units up for sale. The fifth unit is the show home, and that can be for sale as well.”

Bergen & Associates is running the comparables on similar modular homes in the area and working with Ken Just to establish asking prices for the recently-purchased modulars. The fourth and final modular home has been purchased and was delivered in February.

The firm is working on getting the four modular homes that have been installed at The Meadows ready for re-sale. 

According to Eagan, The Meadows currently has 93 total lots available.
