It's the perfect time to buy a personalized home from City Homes

If your dream is to own a stylish, timeless, and uniquely yours home, now might be the perfect time to explore City Homes’ line of bespoke single-family homes. After all, city lights will lead you home—and none shine brighter than City Homes.

As Edmonton continues to benefit from surging demand and easing lending rates, this could be the perfect opportunity to get into one of City Homes’ highly personalized home models that blend exquisite style and function.

New home buyers today have a chance to take advantage of lower interest rates and the newly-announced 30-year mortgage option that that the federal government is extending to help first-time homebuyers. With surging demand and the rising cost of building materials, home prices are likely to increase, making now an ideal time to become a homeowner.

City Homes is well-positioned to deliver for its clients, offering a refined, relationship-based approach to every home it builds—backed by over 30-years of industry-leading experience.

“We love getting to know our customers and helping them bring their one-of-a-kind homes to life. With customer care at the forefront, we build remarkable spaces together,” says Stacy Herrington, Vice President of Sales for City Homes and Daytona Homes.

Part of the city

City Homes builds design-forward homes in seven communities across the Edmonton region (with more coming soon), and stands out for delivering innovation, superior quality, and exceptional customer service in everything they do.

But it’s in their ability to accommodate variations in their floorplans that truly sets them apart.

“Our semi-custom floorplans provide flexibility allowing for personalization that reflects our client’s unique lifestyles. Our talented team is not afraid to push the limits and try something new to ensure every home we build is high in quality and tailored to each homeowner,” Herrington says.

“At City Homes, we’re delighted to deliver a highly personalized experience. When our design-forward expertise meets our customers’ dreams, incredible things happen. Through our established processes, we design and build semi-custom spaces that truly reflect the character of homeowners.”

The perfect conditions

Edmonton’s current economic conditions make it an ideal time to take the leap into homeownership. On September 4, the Bank of Canada cut the key interest rate to 4.25%, with economists predicting two more cuts this year.

First-time homebuyers are also getting a boost from the federal government, which is now allowing 30-year mortgages.

Experts say this significant change to mortgage rules will give homebuyers an additional five years to pay off their mortgage, creating more opportunities for Millennials and Gen Z’ers to purchase a new home.

However, these favourable conditions can be a double-edged sword for homebuyers. Increased demand could lead to higher construction costs and longer build times, making it crucial to act now to secure the perfect City home for you and your family.

Lifestyle-defined design

City Homes brings an urban flair to its range of single-family estate and semi-estate homes. “Nothing excites us more than bringing stylish, on-trend homes to life for our customers. With passion and energy, we’re constantly keeping our fingers on the pulse of architectural and interior design. We source stunning interior finishes, sustainable building options, intriguing design elements and top-notch materials to build spaces that go beyond all expectations,” Herrington says.

“There is a definite demand for homes that can adapt to the current needs of buyers yet remain competitively priced,” Herrington says.

“Our customers want something more than the standard, and we’re ready to deliver a personalized experience. With adaptable floor plans and a curated approach to home design, every home becomes a unique representation of its owner.”

Uniqueness comes standard in all of City Homes’ offerings and their five showhomes – including four that are opening soon – reflect this individuality.

“Our brand-new Milan showhome in Salisbury Village is truly showstopping,” Herrington says. Milan is a top selling model for City Homes. It is 2,602 square-feet, two storey home with four bedrooms, 3-and-a-half baths with double front attached garage. It is a quintessential family home.

“This home has everything you could ever need, blending organic modern design with thoughtful details that elevate everyday living,” Herrington says.

The oversized dining nook, with its tiled surround, floor-to-ceiling windows, and floating shelves, is perfect for family gatherings. A gas fireplace, framed with custom oak slats and quartz, brings a cozy and inviting feel to the living room.

Downstairs, the basement offers versatility, with a cozy room theatre for movie nights and a dedicated dance room for hobbies or exercise. In the primary suite, a spacious walk-in closet and a naturally lit makeup area bring a sense of luxury to your daily routine. “Every thoughtful detail throughout this home makes life feel a bit more special,” she adds.

There’s more to come! This November, City Homes is opening showhomes in Crystallina Nera and Rosemont, the former will feature a garage suite that has become a highly coveted feature for homebuyers. 2025 will see two more showhomes open in Alces and Marquis.

What connects all these new showhomes together is City Homes’ commitment to home design excellence. “Building with enhanced design options, the latest interior trends, and impressive finishings, a City Home is a design-forward home,” Herrington adds.

City Homes takes a refined, relationship-based approach to every home it builds, backed by over 30 years of industry-leading experience. “We love getting to know our customers and helping them bring their one-of-a-kind homes to life. With customer care at the forefront, we build remarkable spaces together,” Herrington says.
