Where supply is heavy and where it is not
- Heavy supply: River's Edge had about 10.7 months of supply on November 8, 2026, Stillwater 8.0 and The Uplands 6.3. Expect builder incentives and room to negotiate on quick possession homes.
- Balanced: Keswick (4.0 months), Chappelle (4.6), Allard (4.3) and Edgemont (3.6).
- Tighter: Glenridding Heights (2.7 months) and Hays Ridge (2.2), where fewer new lots are left.
Checks before you sign with a builder
- Get the full purchase agreement and specification sheet and read what is included: landscaping, appliances, fencing, window coverings and basement finishing are often extra.
- Confirm the new home warranty. Alberta requires a new home warranty; ask who the provider is and get the coverage documents.
- Ask about GST. New homes carry GST. Check the current federal rebate rules for your price and whether you qualify as a first-time buyer.
- Look at the lot, not just the plan. Grading, what is planned behind the lot, and the distance to future schools and transit all affect resale.
- Use your own REALTOR®. Builder sales staff represent the builder. Register your own agent on your first visit to the show home.
New build or nearly new resale?
A home that is two or three years old in the same community often comes with landscaping, a fence and window coverings already done, and the builder warranty may still have years left. Compare both before you decide; the sale to list ratio in these communities runs about 97% to 99%, so list prices are a fair guide.
