Before you sign

What to check on any new home

The list price is only part of the story on a new build. These four change the real cost.

01

The GST

Is GST included in the price or added on top? Eligible first-time buyers can get it back on a new home, which can be worth tens of thousands. Ask us if you qualify.

02

The monthly fees

Condo fees, HOA or community association fees add up. A freehold townhome or semi with no condo fee can cost less each month than a cheaper condo.

03

The possession date

Move-in ready, a few months out, or a year-plus build. It changes your rate hold, your lease and your moving plans.

04

The warranty

Every new home in Alberta comes with a new home warranty. Know what it covers, for how long, and who you call.

Bring us to the show home

The builder has a rep. You should too.

The person in the show home works for the builder. We work for you.

We compare builders

Pricing, incentives, lot premiums and upgrade costs side by side, so you know which deal is actually the better one.

We read the contract

Deposit schedules, possession dates, what's included and what isn't. We catch it before you sign, not after.

The builder usually pays us

On most new builds our fee is paid by the builder, not you. Bring us on your first visit so it counts.

New construction FAQ

Buying a new build in Calgary: straight answers

How much is GST on a new home in Calgary, and do first-time buyers get it back?

GST is 5% on a brand new home. Some builders include it in the list price and some add it on top, so always check. Eligible first-time buyers can get up to $50,000 of it back on a new home priced up to $1 million, with a partial rebate up to $1.5 million. Ask us if you qualify.

Are there new townhomes in Calgary with no condo fees?

Yes. Freehold townhomes have no condo corporation, so there's no monthly condo fee. You own the land and look after your own exterior, yard and snow. You'll find them in newer Calgary communities and in Cochrane, Airdrie and Chestermere.

What's the difference between move-in ready and pre-construction?

A move-in ready home is finished and can usually close in weeks. Pre-construction means you buy before it's built, pick your finishes and wait anywhere from a few months to over a year, often paying deposits along the way. Move-in ready is the better fit if you have a lease ending or a rate hold expiring.

What does the Alberta new home warranty cover?

Every new home in Alberta comes with a warranty of at least 1 year on labour and materials, 2 years on delivery and distribution systems like plumbing, electrical and heating, 5 years on the building envelope and 10 years on the structure. Condo buildings also carry warranty on common property.

Can you negotiate on a new build?

Sometimes on price, more often on everything around it: incentives, upgrades, closing costs and possession date. Move-in ready inventory usually has the most room, because the builder is carrying it.

Do I need my own REALTOR® to buy from a builder?

The show home sales rep works for the builder. Your own REALTOR® works for you, and on most new builds the builder pays their fee. Many builders need your agent registered on your first visit, so bring us from the start.
