The price of lots in the Town of Battleford's newest Battle Springs subdivision will be discounted by five per cent for the rest of the year.
Battleford Town Council passed a resolution to that effect at last week's council meeting.
Town Administrator Sheryl Ballendine said one person has purchased a lot and three more have expressed interest, but that indications from the public were that the prices seemed high.
The discount will be applied to the lot already purchased.
There are 32 lots available on Battle Springs View, Terrace and Ridge. On the south side of town, some lots will allow for walkout style homes.
The discounted prices range from $73,219.49, including GST, to $182, 977.41. The most expensive lot, at 1,667.6 square metres, is more than twice the size of the least expensive lot.
Council also resolved to amend the option to purchase rules to allow spec home builders six months to pay the balance of the purchase price of a lot, or until the sale of the house or transfer of title, whichever is the least time period. The previous time period was 60 days.
Meanwhile, available lots in Battleford West's Telegraph Heights, the privately developed area to the west of Highway 4, range in price from $69,900 to $92,900 . Sizes range from 6,719.8 square metres to 15,716.8.
