The time is right to buy a Daytona Home in Cochrane

In life, timing is everything. And currently, all indicators point to now being the right time to buy a new home – especially if you’re interested in Cochrane.

First-time homebuyers have a unique opportunity to benefit from falling interest rates and the recently announced 30-year mortgage option, introduced by the federal government to support new homeowners. With demand surging and the cost of building materials continuing to rise, home prices are likely to follow suit. That makes today the right time to step into homeownership before prices climb further.

Daytona Homes is here to help those wanting to take advantage of these fresh and exciting home owning opportunities. Their expert team is ready to support homebuyers navigate the homebuying journey and find the most comfortable home for their unique lifestyle. Not only do they have a wide selection of home models that suit the ever-changing wants and needs of their buyers, but they also have a variety of quick possession homes that provide a lot of flexibility in timing their move-in dates

In the Calgary region, perfection can be summed up in the Western Heritage town of Cochrane, where the lure of Big Sky Country blends with Big City amenities. Add to that Cochrane’s inherent affordability and you know why this small town just west of Calgary has become one of the fastest growing municipalities in Alberta, maybe the country.

AT THE HEART OF IT

“Cochrane is a special place because it bridges the gap between outdoor adventure and city living,” says Daytona Homes Calgary Sales and Marketing Manager, Tyler Warner.

“Being so close to the mountains is something that a lot of our homeowners value, as is its proximity to Calgary. Cochrane’s small-town charm and its growing selection of shops, schools, and services make for a great balance for prospective buyers.”

In Cochrane, Daytona Homes can be found in the two dynamic, young communities of Heartland and Southbow Landing.

Located on the western side of town, it lies at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, yet minutes to Calgary’s urban centre, Heartland is more established and already offers the best of both worlds. With access to schools, shopping, recreation facilities, and more, you’re just a short drive from everything your family needs.

Southbow Landing is brand new and just held its grand opening last September. The community is located along the Bow River on the southern side of town, and offers a rare connection to nature with pristine vistas of the Rockies, as well as an easy-living lifestyle with all of the big city amenities nearby.

“We are going to be very focused on Cochrane in 2025 between Heartland and Southbow Landing. We are consistently planning quick possession homes and plan on building more homes than we’ve ever built as a company here at Daytona Calgary, with a significant number of those homes being in Cochrane.”

STYLISH COUNTRY LIVING

Within these two communities, you will find Daytona’s diverse selection of front-attached single family homes as well as front-attached garage duplex homes.

In Heartland, The Austyn showhome fits perfectly in this family-friendly environment. At 2,259 square-feet, this double attached garage, two-storey home is designed to fit all the wants and needs of a growing family.

The open concept design of the main floor uses every inch of liveable space. The L-shaped counter of the kitchen with a centre island is perfect for the quick breakfast needs of a busy family, and the elegant dining room and living room that flow seamlessly is a worthy backdrop for Thanksgiving dinners or any other large get-together.

“We are currently working through the remainder of this year’s inventory in Heartland and have some amazing incentives on quick possession homes,” Warner says.

The Austyn has been so popular that they have a variation of it as a showhome in Southbow Landing, as well. They also offer rare-to-find double-front attached garage duplex models here, including the Breeze and Canyon showhomes.

THREE DECADES OF EXPERTISE

These showhomes are just the latest example of Daytona’s craftsmanship and expertise.

For more than 30 years, Daytona Homes has marked its success in the comfort they have been able to provide their clients with efficient, functional home designs, and customer service that goes above and beyond expectations.

“All our decisions are centred around people,” says Daytona Homes’ Stacy Herrington, Vice President of Sales. “Affordability, thoughtful floor plans, easy options, and material quality are integral to our process and ensure we are delivering on our high- quality promise.”

They are also adept in coming up with fresh, innovative home designs that blend life with style and affordability. “Daytona is committed to innovation, creating homes designed and priced for how our homeowners live,” Herrington says.

RIGHT CONDITIONS

The current economic conditions in Calgary – indeed, all of Alberta - are just right to make the leap to homeownership, as the Bank of Canada cut key interest rate to 3.75 per cent, making a 50-basis-point cut for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. More cuts might be coming, too.

First-time homeowners are also getting a leg up from the federal government that is now allowing 30-year mortgages for first-time homebuyers of new construction homes.

Experts say this significant change to mortgage rules would allow an additional five years to pay off a mortgage and lower monthly payments, which is anticipated to help create more opportunities for Millennials and Gen Z’ers to buy a new home.

But these favourable conditions can be a double-edged sword to homebuyers, as they will likely lead to increased demand, which could then lead to higher construction costs and longer build times, so acting now to get the right Daytona home for you and your family is crucial.

CUSTOMER COMFORT IS PARAMOUNT

Whether you are a first-time buyer or you’re onto your move-up home, Daytona Homes’ family-centred values is at the heart of their business and a source of comfort to all their clients.

Herrington emphasizes though that the greatest compliment they get from their homebuyers is the seamless ability to “shift a stressful process to an exciting one” through their expertise, support, and customer care. “At Daytona Homes, comfort matters and can be felt throughout every space we shape and our homebuying process.”

The key to this ability to connect with their buyers is their background as a family-run company. Founded by the Hutchinson family in 1993, Daytona Homes has been able to instill family values in their business approach and has succeeded in building over 10,000 homes across Alberta.

With their buyers’ comfort in mind, Daytona Homes is rapidly expanding its reach in the Calgary market with new showhomes in more new communities, including some of the most sought-after quick-possession homes in the city.

A VARIED INVENTORY

Whether you’re looking for a pre-sale, or quick possession home, Daytona Homes has the right option for you and your lifestyle.

Functional and fashionable style prevail in their new showhomes that emphasize comfort for the family. Daytona’s line of move in ready homes offers much of the same with the addition of convenience, for buyers dealing with tight timelines.

Warner says it is important to maintain a wide and varied home inventory to offer buyers an easier way to homeownership.

“We know that selling your current home can be very stressful and anxiety inducing, so being able to choose a home that aligns with your desired timing can be a huge benefit in the buying process,” Warner tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

“Our showhomes are situated in the city’s most popular communities across North and Southeast Calgary, Cochrane and Springbank area. Visit us today and see the quality in every square foot.”
