The price of a home with Sterling Homes encompasses the home itself, the lot the home is built on, the GST, an appliance package, and enrollment in the Alberta New Home Warranty Program.

All Sterling homes are covered by the Alberta New Home Warranty Program (ANHWP).Under the ANHWP, your home is covered for one year on materials (the flooring, fixtures, baseboards etc.), two years on the heating, plumbing and electrical systems, five years on building envelope (the roof and exterior walls) and ten years on all the structural components.

At Sterling Homes, we offer a variety of personalization options tailored to suit your preferences and needs. Depending on the stage of construction when you decide to purchase, some options may not be available. Personalization options range adding feature walls to selecting your ideal color palette, or even implementing structural modifications such as integrating a legal suite into the basement. We encourage you to connect with our dedicated team to explore the array of personalization choices available for the specific home you're considering.

The minimum amount you can put down is 5% of the home’s value, as long as the home costs $500,000 or less. If the cost of the home is over $500,000, the minimum you’ll need to pay is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the remaining balance.
So for example, if your home costs $600,000 the minimum down payment would be:

5% of $500,00 = $25,000
10% of $100,000 = $10,000
Total minimum down payment = $35,000
