Yes, at Sterling Homes, the prices you see on our website include GST, providing clear and upfront pricing. Our prices are also adjusted for the federal New Housing GST Rebate, which is assigned to the builder. This adjustment is reflected in the price you see on our website. If you do not qualify for the GST New Housing Rebate (e.g., if the home is not your primary residence), the rebate amount will be added back to your purchase price.

In addition, eligible first-time homebuyers may qualify for a separate federal program—the First-Time Home Buyer GST Rebate—to recover up to $50,000 of the GST paid on their new home purchase. These rebates are different, but both can help reduce the overall cost of purchasing a new home.

Contact us today to learn more about how these programs might apply to your purchase.

BUILT GREEN® Canada is a national non-profit industry-driven organization that promotes, encourages, and supports the construction of environmentally responsible (or even net-zero) homes.

The BUILT GREEN® program is completely voluntary and uses a holistic approach to improve both energy efficiency (through its EnerGuide label) and the use of sustainable materials (through the BUILT GREEN® label.). By partnering with BUILT GREEN®, we are committing to building durable, healthier, and energy-efficient homes while maintaining affordable homes with unbeatable value.

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.

The exact amount will vary depending on the value of the home you’re buying, but it’s easy to calculate. The minimum down payment 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.
