Edmonton’s fall new home buying season ended in a flurry that saw several showhomes and communities open to the public. But even with the Holidays fast approaching there still seems to be a lot of activity in the market, and 2026 is looking to be as busy as ever.

COVER STORY

WRAPPING UP 2025: COVENTRY HOMES REFLECTS ON A YEAR OF SHARED SUCCESS

New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 21, 2025–Feb. 13, 2026

As Edmonton continues to grow and evolve, so does Coventry Homes. This year marked another memorable chapter in Coventry’s nearly five-decade journey of helping families build the homes, and the futures, they’ve always imagined. From opening six new showhomes across Edmonton and St. Albert to celebrating the groundbreaking of their 6,000th home, 2025 has been a year defined by momentum, pride, and a renewed commitment to the values that have shaped Coventry since the beginning. Those roots stretch back to 1976, when Henri Rodier founded Coventry Homes with a clear, personal vision: to build wellcrafted homes and create a company that would thrive for generations. Nearly fifty years later, that dream has taken shape. Henri’s son, Mark Rodier, now leads Coventry as President, having spent more than two decades guiding the company’s growth, culture, and reputation. The legacy extends further through Henri’s eldest son, Ray

Rodier – founder and CEO of Impact Homes, Coventry’s sister company. Together, the Rodier family continues to steward a tradition built on dedication, craftsmanship, and an unwavering belief that building homes is about far more than lumber and layouts. “It’s never about being the biggest,” Henri says. “It’s about being the best.” EDMONTON-MADE: A LEGACY OF LOCAL ROOTS

Coventry Homes has always been deeply connected to the city it calls home. By building exclusively in the greater Edmonton area, the company has helped shape communities while fostering a profound sense of place and pride. Each neighbourhood becomes part of Coventry’s story, and every family who chooses Coventry becomes part of the city’s living legacy. Later this month, the company will break ground on its 6,000th home – a milestone that goes beyond numbers to celebrate the thousands of families who The Rodiers

have trusted Coventry to make their dreams of homeownership a reality. Each home represents a place where memories begin, traditions take root, and communities grow. FAMILY TIES: VALUES PASSED FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION

Family is woven into Coventry’s culture in meaningful ways. Husband-and-wife, fatherand-son, and mother-anddaughter teams work across the organization, bringing a sense of connection and community that few companies of their size experience. “Family-owned and operated” is more than a phrase, it reflects the relationships, care, and pride that influence everything Coventry does. That legacy now spans three generations. Founder Henri Rodier began his career as a framer, building homes from the ground up – literally. His son Ray followed the same path, working on the tools before establishing Impact Homes. Today, the tradition continues with Henri’s grandson, Henri Tristan Rodier, who has spent the past two years framing Coventry homes across the city. It’s a rare lineage: three generations who not only learned the craft with their own hands, but who are contributing to the company’s growth at the same time. home

ow Coventry’s first sh

nexthome.ca

“Building a home is a collective effort,” says Mark Rodier. “Everyone brings pride and skill to the process. That’s how great homes are built.” The result is more than a house. It’s a place where memories will unfold, families will grow, and communities will take shape – one home at a time. LOOKING AHEAD: THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY

With the next generation already deeply involved, the Rodier family remains committed to upholding the values of purpose, integrity, and craftsmanship while embracing the innovation needed to carry Coventry into the future. HOMES FOR EVERY FAMILY, BUILT TOGETHER

Coventry is committed to inclusivity and flexibility, offering homes starting in the $400s with a portfolio that spans townhomes, duplexes, single-family rear-lane and front-attached homes, and fully custom builds. Whether someone is buying their first 10

home, needing more space, or designing something one-of-akind, Coventry provides options for every stage of life. That variety is matched by the collaborative spirit behind each build. “Better Together” isn’t just an internal slogan, it’s the way the company works. Designers, sales teams, construction crews, trades, and suppliers all contribute their expertise to ensure every home is functional, beautiful, and built to last. Many of these partners have worked alongside Coventry for decades, forming an extended family united by craft and care.

New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 21, 2025–Feb. 13, 2026

As Coventry Homes gears up for 2026, the company prepares to celebrate a remarkable milestone: fifty years of building in Edmonton. The anniversary will feature special events, exclusive promotions, and community initiatives that honour the families, teams, and partners who have shaped Coventry’s story. More than a celebration, it’s an opportunity to highlight a company that continues to innovate while staying true to its roots. With new showhomes on the horizon, including a landmark Net Zero model in Timberheights. Coventry is poised to lead Edmonton into its next era of homebuilding. One thing is certain: Coventry Homes is, in every sense, never done building. The company’s history has been defined by progress, creativity, and a steadfast commitment to families, and that spirit will continue into the next fifty years. As Coventry prepares for this next chapter, it does so with gratitude – for the families who invite them into life-changing decisions, for the teams who pour heart into every home, and for the legacy Henri began nearly fifty years ago. Here’s to 2025. And here’s to everything next year, and next fifty years, will bring. For more information, visit coventryhomes.ca.

ROHIT’S BASKETS OF HOPE SUPPORTING WIN HOUSE

WHAT’S HAPPENING The 2025 Rohit Baskets of Hope event took place on Tuesday, November 4, bringing the community together at Rohit’s Headquarters in support of WIN House. This year’s gathering marked a powerful milestone, as more than 120 community members came together (with arms full of donated items!) to help assemble 150 Comfort Baskets for those staying at WIN House, along with 50 Fresh Start Baskets filled with essentials to support new beginnings. The event also raised over $20,000 to strengthen WIN House’s critical services. What began over a decade ago with 12 friends in a living room has grown into a heartfelt tradition at Rohit – one that continues to embody compassion, generosity, and the belief that even small acts of care can help change someone’s path forward.

ST. ALBERT

BRINGS THE GIFT OF NEW HOME OPPORTUNITIES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ

It’s the time of the year again when everyone’s thoughts turn to St. Nick. But this Christmastime, homebuyers looking for a new home would be well-advised to turn to St. Albert, the dynamic young municipality just north of Edmonton, where the gift of finding a new home can be more easily found. Christmas in St. Albert is really something special. The popular Perron District dressed up in Holiday lights and tinsel is an Instagram-worthy scene, the St. Albert Christmas Market is also said to be the largest indoor Christmas market in Western Canada with 250 vendors, live performances and where the small-town Christmas spirit is alive and well. Many have, in fact, seem to have chosen to settle in this city as St. Albert’s population increased by 9.2 per cent from 2018 to 2024, 16

and the 2024 municipal census counted 72,316 residents, a 6,234 increase from 2023. What do people love about it? Easy. St. Albert boasts a familyfriendly vibe with lots of parks and recreational opportunities, so much so that it has been consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in Alberta. Now, it’s becoming known for the modern – even cosmopolitan – lifestyle to be found in its many new communities, including in Nouveau and Riverside. LOVING ST. ALBERT

It’s no secret that St. Albert has become one of the most soughtafter residential destinations in Alberta. The balanced lifestyle it offers of big city amenities with a small-town feel, has struck a chord among homebuyers.

“St. Albert is a city that perfectly blends small-town charm with big-city convenience,” says Tara Van Horn, Director, Marketing & Communications at Coventry Homes. Coventry Homes has been building in St. Albert for a decade, offering a range of duplex, laned, and front-drive garage homes in the established community of Riverside, and recently in the young community of Nouveau. They have some insight in what makes this municipality – sometimes called “Botanical Arts City” – such a fantastic place to live. “St. Albert is known for its beautiful parks, strong sense of community, and top-rated schools, it’s a place where families can truly put down roots. The city’s trail system, local markets, and year-round community

events create a warm, connected atmosphere, while proximity to Edmonton ensures that residents have access to everything they need,” she adds. ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE

Located just outside the northwest corner of Edmonton, St. Albert has gained its own identity as a medium-sized city with plenty of room for growth, with plenty of amenities – including its own hospital – and where life can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. It has been named the safest city in Alberta with an excellent public education system and great healthcare facilities. It also has a livelier downtown and nightlife than most Albertan cities of similar

size, according to several real estate websites. St. Albert offers well-planned neighbourhoods, exceptional community services, and plenty of opportunities to own a new home. The city offers well-planned neighbourhoods, exceptional community services, and an abundant mix of cultural and recreational opportunities. PLENTY OF NEW HOME OPPORTUNITIES

Coventry Homes has been proudly building in St. Albert for nearly a decade, starting with the awardwinning community of Riverside and more recently expanding into Nouveau. “Riverside offers a beautiful natural setting close to the

Sturgeon River and Big Lake, perfect for those who appreciate the outdoors,” Van Horn says. “One of its standout features is the larger lot sizes, which allow for spacious single-family homes with front attached garages – many of which can accommodate up to a triple garage.” She adds that while these aren’t considered estate homes, they come close in terms of size, curb appeal, and overall lifestyle. “The community’s generous green spaces, walking trails, and proximity to amenities make it an exceptional place to call home.” Nouveau, on the other hand, brings a more modern and efficient approach to homeownership. Featuring Zero Lot Line homes, it’s designed to maximize space and affordability without sacrificing style or function. “It’s a vibrant, growing area in north St. Albert that’s perfect for young families and first-time buyers looking for a well-connected community with nearby shopping, schools, and easy access to major routes.” Across both communities, Coventry offers a wide selection of single-family homes and duplexes, with floor plans designed to fit a range of lifestyles from growing families to downsizers looking for comfort and style. St. Albert Botanic Park

Perron District PEACEFUL, EASY LIVING

St. Albert has a reputation as one of the safest communities in Alberta with its Crime Severity Index significantly lower than the provincial and national averages. St. Albert also offers wellplanned neighbourhoods, exceptional community services, and plenty of opportunities to own a new home, as well as an abundant mix of cultural and recreational opportunities. “In St. Albert, single family homes compared to Edmonton, prices are generally a little higher, reflecting St. Albert’s premium location, established infrastructure, and sought-after reputation,” Van Horn says. “That said, buyers often find the investment worthwhile for the quality of life, resale value, and sense of community that come with living here. Coventry offers a variety of home styles and specifications to help buyers find the right fit for their lifestyle and budget.”

performances. The mix of nature, culture, and convenience makes it easy to see why so many choose to call St. Albert home,” Van Horn adds. Nature is ever close at hand in St. Albert, and there are plenty of spots to enjoy lush, green scenery. The Sturgeon River which runs through the heart of St. Albert is a great spot for walks, picnics and communing with nature. The capital region’s only provincial park, the Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, is also right at its doorstep. It is located along the western edge of St. Albert and Edmonton and Big Lake is its defining feature, taking up 59 per cent of the park’s total area. The St. Albert Botanic Park is also a sight to behold. It is a top tourist destination in the city, featuring five acres of beautifully landscaped, themed gardens. These are a few of the reasons why St. Albert is also called “Botanical Arts City.” COVENTRY’S LATEST SHOWHOMES IN ST. ALBERT

“Coventry’s showhomes in both Riverside and Nouveau highlight the craftsmanship and thoughtful Riverside by Genstar

NATURAL, CULTURAL HAVEN

Beyond its well-known Farmers’ Market and downtown boutiques, St. Albert has a growing number of local gems worth discovering. The Enjoy Centre offers unique shopping and dining experiences with local food, plants, and artisan products all under one roof. “The city’s vibrant dining scene includes cozy cafes, family-run restaurants, and upscale spots for date nights. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Red Willow Trail System, while families can enjoy attractions like the St. Albert Botanic Park or the Arden Theatre’s live 18

design we’re known for,” Van Horn says. The newly opened Odessa showhome in Riverside is one of Coventry’s most popular models that perfectly balances style and function. “The home has a Refined Heritage design with features such as stone fireplace and backsplash, transom windows and custom millwork throughout.” Highlights include a spa-like primary retreat and a basement gym with a dualsided fireplace for added comfort and charm. Visit it at 193 Rankin Dr, St. Albert. With a Nordic inspired aesthetic, the Dione showhome in Nouveau features the standard floorplan option with an open main floor and large central kitchen which opens on to the dining nook and great room. “The Nordic design is carried into the basement which features an Oilers® Fan Cave – complete with smoothie bar, training gym and sauna,” she adds. Check it out at 6 Nouveau Drive, St. Albert.

Carrington’s Evolve condos

FIND YOUR FAVOURITE IN EDMONTON’S WIDE RANGE OF HOMES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Edmonton is growing at an astonishing pace, and it’s not expected to slow down anytime soon. According to a REMAX report, Edmonton’s population has increased by almost 87 per cent since 1994, the second-highest growth rate among Canada’s nine largest cities during that period. And with its continued affordability and strong economy, growth through 2026 and beyond is assured. Fuelled by immigration from within Canada and abroad, Edmonton shines because of its cultural vibrancy, abundant green space and plentiful opportunity to find a home and community to settle in with relative ease. The wide range of housing types available to own in some of the most dynamic new communities

in and around the region also plays a big factor in attracting newcomers. You can find a home that fits your lifestyle in Edmonton – from starter to estate homes and everything in between. Edmonton new home builders offer everything from condos, townhomes, duplex, laned and front-drive garage homes in a variety of styles and lot sizes. Here’s a rundown of some of the most popular types of homes in and around Edmonton in 2025. APARTMENT CONDOS

Whether it’s a downtown tower, an inner-city mid-rise or a lifestyle-connected four-storey condo in the suburbs, singlelevel apartment style living offers a rich, fulfilling option for new home buyers who are keen on experiencing life’s every aspect.

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 21, 2025–Feb. 13, 2026

Today, apartment condos have evolved from just the traditional four-storey wood frame building, and many now offer a complete lifestyle package with tons of inhouse amenities. They are thought of less as crash pad where one sleeps, to a home that offers a high quality of life. In Edmonton, a name that has become synonymous with elevated apartment condo living is Carrington Communities. Since 1973, Carrington Communities has been developing Edmonton’s best-known multi-family homes and are an acknowledged expert in the market offering everything from condos designed for the first-time homebuyer, to luxurious single-level apartments meant for the downsizer looking for the comforts of a home they have been accustomed to.

Cantiro’s Metro townhomes

Currently offering condos in southwest Edmonton, Carrington Communities builds for all kinds of lifestyles and all stages of life, says Carrington Communities’ Marketing Manager, Courtney Provencal. “What is important is the accessibility to a robust array of building amenities that the buyer wants.” The appeal of apartment condos can never be overlooked. “With our busy lifestyles, you may desire a safe, lock-and-leave community to be a part of,” Provencal says. “Alternatively, if you are downsizing from a larger home, the freedom of a lower mortgage payment may be appealing as you can use your savings to enjoy other things in life.” Find out more at carrington.ca.

Townhome buyers love the fact that they can get a two- or threebedroom (increasingly, even four bedrooms) home for a lower price than is typical for a duplex or laned home, with the extra advantage of a low-maintenance lifestyle. Some also come with attached garages, which is a big bonus. There is a wealth of new townhome developments in many of the newest communities in and around Edmonton, so location is not a problem. Cantiro Homes is one of the best-known builders in the region and recently won

Builder of the Year – Large Volume at the 2025 BILD Edmonton Metro Awards of Excellence (AOE). Cantiro says townhomes offer the perfect balance between space and style, with all the comforts of a single-family home and the lowmaintenance lifestyle of condo living. And in their case – no condo fees. “They’re ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone seeking modern design and affordability in vibrant, connected communities,” says Gary Hoeft, General Manager, Cantiro Homes.

TOWNHOMES

Townhomes are a lot of things for a lot of people, but its inherent affordability is what makes it one of the hottest selling types of homes right now. For one thing, townhomes are offered in a wide variety of styles that work for different kinds of lifestyles. They may be stacked on top of each other; or sitting sideby-side in a row; they can offer single-level living or a three-storey lifestyle; they can have condo fees and there are those that don’t.

Jayman BUILT laned home

Cantiro offers a variety of townhome styles to meet diverse buyer needs. Their Metro Collection Townhomes are three-storey, rear-attached garage homes with no condo fees, available in Alces (SE Edmonton), and Greenbury Park (Spruce Grove). “In addition, we offer bungalow townhomes with detached garages in Riverside in St. Albert,” Hoeft says. Check them out at cantiro.ca/metro-townhomes. DUPLEX HOMES

Edmonton’s homebuilders have different names for the duplex. Some call it a side-byside home, a semi-detached (or semi-attached) home, or even a paired home. No matter what it is called, its flexibility, functionality, and perhaps most importantly, its affordability has made it a perennial best-seller. A duplex is a single structure featuring two residences, each with its own private entrance and one shared wall (there is a gap between the adjoining walls of the homes to lessen sound transfer). Each home is individually owned, and unlike townhomes, have no condo fees. It’s twice the nice at half the price. “A duplex home offers a balance between privacy, potential income 22

(basement suite opportunities) and affordability while enjoying a spacious home that’s your own,” says Lindsey Wachowicz, Brookfield Residential Senior Marketing Manager, Edmonton. “This type of home is typically more affordable than a laned or front garage home making it a great option for first-time buyers or those looking to enter the real estate market,” she adds. “Certain costs, such as maintenance, roofing, or landscaping, can also be shared with the owner of the other side, reducing the financial responsibility. There are also no condo fees.” Currently in Edmonton, Brookfield Residential has four available models ranging from 1,424- to 1,769-square-feet. “They all have 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths; however, a basement development or basement suite provides the opportunity for an additional bedroom and bathroom. Two models come included with a single attached garage, while the other two models feature a double attached garage,” she says. Go to brookfieldresidential.com for more. LANED HOMES

Laned homes have been the darling of the new homebuyer set for almost as long as there has been a new homebuilding

New Home + Condo Guide | Nov. 21, 2025–Feb. 13, 2026

industry. This type of home usually has a porch or veranda facing the street, or big front windows with unencumbered view of the front yard. It also has a parking pad or detached garage with rear lane access, and it has always been the preferred first home for many. Traditional designs have typically been utilitarian with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths with an open concept main and a basement development option. But lately, there has been a noticeable change in the design. Over the last decade or so, it was rare to see laned homes larger than 1,500 square-feet in Edmonton. But today, as lifestyle needs of buyers continue to evolve, laned homes have gotten bigger, offering more living space than ever before, many coming with options for spice kitchens, and main floor bedrooms, and more. While they may no longer fit neatly into the category of starter homes, they still represent a more accessible option for budgetconscious buyers compared to their front-attached garage counterparts. For Dalyce Keen, Sales Manager, Jayman BUILT Edmonton, laned homes represent “affordability without the compromise,” as homeowners “gain complete

privacy while not being attached to another dwelling or sharing outdoor living spaces.” She adds that Jayman BUILT’s laned homes have a large range of options in size, floorplans and designs options. “Having a rear detached garage option allows for more flexibility with direct access to the backyard from the alley. Also, storage options for those homeowners who have recreational vehicles, toys, etc. with the rear lane access.” A huge advantage of the laned homes is its ability to offer legal basement suites, four-bedroom upper floors, main floor bedrooms for multi-generational living, and more. “Jayman BUILT offers a total of 16 laned model options to offer a home design to fit any lifestyle,” Keen says. “Our homes include oversized triple pane windows to maximize natural daylight, crafted exterior architecture, award winning floorplans, energy efficiency with our CORE performance including 10 Solar Panels as well as smart home automation.” Find out more at jayman.com.

FRONT-DRIVE GARAGE (FDG) HOMES

Any home can be a family home, but the front-drive attachedgarage (FDG) home remains to be at the top of the list – certainly among families. These types of homes are as ubiquitous as the suburbs they are generally found in, and they remain at the apex of the home-buying cycle. But in these days when affordability is a challenge, homebuilders are getting more creative in their designs of the FDG. The key it seems is flexibility in floorplans and adding value to the home, specifically making the most use of the home to work as a partial rental property or as a multi-generational home where aging parents can stay. Coventry Homes says the full potential of FDG homes can be easily realized to make them fit the buyers’ evolving needs. “Front drive garage homes offer incredible value by providing more square footage and functionality on a single lot,” says Coventry Homes Director Marketing & Communications, Tara Van Horn.

“For growing families, multigenerational households, or anyone who needs extra space, FDG homes maximize both interior living and yard space. With today’s rising costs, it makes sense to invest in a home that can adapt with your lifestyle for years to come,” she says. Coventry Homes has been one of Edmonton’s most wellregarded homebuilders for almost 50 years now, and their ever-evolving line of FDG homes is a source of pride. Coventry builds front drive garage homes in all of over 17 communities in Edmonton and surrounding areas top communities, including Marquis, Rivers Edge, Keswick Landing, and Nouveau in St. Albert – just to name a few. She adds that Coventry’s FDG buyers are often families, moveup buyers, and professionals looking for long-term homes. “We attract them with flexible home designs, customizable options, and move-in ready quick possessions that fit their timelines.” Go to coventryhomes.ca for more.

TRENDING | QUICK POSSESSIONS YEG

MOVE IN FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH QUICK POSSESSION HOMES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Christmas is just around the corner, and wouldn’t it be great to spend the Holidays in a brand-new home? No one can blame you if you think November might be a little too late for such dreams – and you might be right if you’re building a home right from scratch, but Edmonton homebuilders certainly offer options that can make this Christmas wish come true. The answer is of course, a spec home – otherwise termed a quick possession home. The builder spec home has been a tried-and-true industry standard. These kinds of homes are built before a homebuyer makes a purchase. It is constructed using

builder specifications (hence, “spec”) and most are move-in ready or at least available for a quick possession. These homes are perfect for homebuyers on tight deadlines, as they can determine their possession time with more certainty. For new homebuyers, choosing a quick possession home is the perfect solution if they’re looking for a streamlined process with faster results. WHY BUY A SPEC HOME?

“Spec homes turn dreams into reality faster,” says Cantiro Homes Sales Manager, Chris Ongkiko. “These homes have curated interior designs, energy saving

features, and give buyers the confidence of knowing that their family’s future starts today.” “Spec homes are also a great choice for buyers who prefer a streamlined process, as many design and finishing decisions have already been made, resulting in beautifully curated homes in a shorter timeframe,” says Sterling Homes Marketing Team Lead, Lauren Caryk-Bunker. Additionally, buyers not only save on time with spec homes, but on price, as well, she adds. “Generally, spec homes tend to be more cost-effective compared to building a home from scratch. This is because spec homes often have fewer upgrades or specific finishing Cantiro

selections added, which reduces the overall cost. Additionally, builders usually offer favorable pricing on spec homes to ensure they don’t remain unoccupied once completed, making them excellent value for buyers.” SPEC HOME ADVANTAGE

But what is the difference between building a home of your own from scratch or buying a pre-made one? Turns out there really isn’t much. Both are new homes that no one has lived in before. The main difference is the time of possession. Building a new home can require a lot of patience. It can take as long as 10 months (sometimes longer) to move into a pre-sale home, and not everyone has the luxury to wait that long. Homebuilders offer spec homes as a perfect solution to the timing problem buyers may have. This also allows builders to keep their team of tradespersons employed and busy. “Imagine walking through a home and instantly picturing your family gathered around the kitchen island, kids playing in the backyard, and cozy evenings by the fireplace. That’s the power of a spec home – you can see it, feel it, and make it yours without the wait,” Cantiro’s Ongkiko says. Basically, it’s a showhome that you can move into right away. “Beyond convenience, spec homes deliver peace of mind.

They’re built to today’s standards, offering superior energy efficiency compared to older resale homes. That means lower utility bills, a healthier living environment, and a home designed for the way families live now – not decades ago.” Spec homes also provide fixed pricing, no surprises that can upend budgets. And offer immediate availability for anyone that needs it, Ongkiko adds. Cantiro, which builds both single-family and multi-family homes, offers spec homes for both types. “Each of these choices offers different value to fit the lifestyle of the buyers for the different home types! For example, single family homes offer greater

square footage, private yards, and large multi-purpose living spaces. Whereas townhomes offer greater affordability, lower maintenance, plus smart and efficient designs to optimize square footage.” STREAMLINED PROCESS

Spec homes are a great choice for buyers who prefer a streamlined process, as many design and finishing decisions have already been made, often resulting in beautifully curated homes. “However, depending on the stage of construction and timing of purchase, buyers may still have opportunities to personalize certain aspects of the home,” Caryk-Bunker says.

Building a home from scratch does offer the buyer maximum customization, allowing them to choose the lot, model, floorplan, and finishes that suit their exact preferences. “While this option provides ample creative freedom, it typically involves a longer timeline. Ultimately, the decision between a spec home and a fully customized home depends on individual priorities, whether that’s convenience, timing, or personalization,” she adds. Sterling Homes’ spec homes come with some of its most sought-after upgrades. These include their luxury kitchen package, which features extended cabinets to the ceiling and a chimney-style hood fan for a modern feel. “Floorplan upgrades are equally popular, such as open-to-below layouts, spice kitchens, side entrances, and main-floor bedrooms. Because of their popularity, we incorporate many of these options into our spec homes,” Caryk-Bunker says. Depending on the time in the spec home’s building process, she says buyers can still personalize finishes and visit their in-house design studio, DesignQ, where they can collaborate with a professional interior designer. “Choices like selecting flooring, adding cabinet enhancements, feature walls, or fireplaces are common upgrades made at DesignQ.” 28
