Seton

Cedarglen Homes is a Calgary-based builder focused on single-family homes across the region's growing communities. The company builds detached designs aimed at families and move-up buyers, and maintains showhomes where prospective purchasers can walk through its floor plans and finishes firsthand.

Buying a new detached home in a community like Seton often starts with registering for updates so you're among the first to hear about released lots, new floor plans, and quick-possession homes. With move-in-ready inventory available, some buyers can skip the long wait of a build-to-order purchase and close on a finished home instead.

For build-to-order homes, purchase agreements with a builder typically involve a deposit paid in stages, with construction milestones and a possession date set out in your contract. Quick-possession and move-in-ready homes generally have a shorter, more predictable path to closing.

In Alberta, review your purchase agreement carefully and consider having a lawyer look it over before you sign. Buyer protections and warranty coverage for new homes are governed provincially, so ask the builder about the specifics that apply to your home and confirm all figures and timelines in writing.
