In the meantime, the provincial government has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbr.gov.bc.ca\/business\/Consumer_taxes\/harmonized_sales_tax\/hst.html#9 \">transitional rules<\/a> in place so that new homeowners pay no more tax through harmonization than they would have with the old PST system.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of the HST pretty much shut down new home construction, but that is not the case anymore. Todd is building this home right now at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sedonaheights.com\">Sedona Heights<\/a>. If you or your friends are looking in the Okanagan, there are a couple of other reasons to check out Sedona, besides the great locale. The developer \u2013 my brother Todd \u2013 owns the land. Because there&#8217;s no middleman, he can offer high-end, quality homes below market value. In fact, the prices are competitive with the used home market.<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, this home is not spoken for yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spoke with Patrick Murphy at Remax Summerland during the recent Sedona community potluck.
