New or Resale? What Determines Your Path
Whether you buy a brand new home or opt for a resale home, it's important to feel confident that you can live there comfortably and that you're undertaking the most suitable purchase process for you.
New Homes
Warranty: Alberta law requires every builder to provide a warranty: labour & materials (12 months), distribution systems (2 years), building envelope (5 years), and key structural components (10 years).
Perks From Builders: Many partner-builders provide incentives like cash, landscaping, appliances, upgrades, and furniture.
Choice: Builders provide a variety of options to meet consumer needs.
No Warranty for Your Damage: Warranty does not cover mechanical damage not connected to the manufacturer (e.g. scratches, broken windows caused by the owner).
Construction in Process: Buying a home under construction may involve timeline interruptions and requires flexibility with possession days.
Resale Homes
Quick Possession: Easier decision-making with tangible homes and certain dates.
Established Neighbourhood: Located in established communities with more options for schools, amenities, and routes.
Older Systems & Appliances: Inheriting appliances and systems with wear and tear may result in additional expenses.
Renovations & Repairs: May require budgeting for changes or renovations after purchase.
