Buying a Pre-Sale Home in Edmonton – Your Strategy for Success in 2025

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. It represents years of saving, careful planning, and, most importantly, the promise of stability. That’s why building a home, rather than purchasing an older one, can be the perfect solution—especially now.

In this post, we’ll explore why pre-sale homes are a win, the financial perks they offer, and how Cantiro’s personalized approach sets us apart.

Why Edmonton’s Housing market is Perfect for buying a Pre-sale home:

Alberta has experienced explosive population growth over the past four years, and Edmonton is at the heart of this trend. In 2024, more than 43,000 people moved to Alberta, with projections showing an additional 125,000 newcomers in 2025. This surge in migration is driving up demand for housing.

By purchasing a pre-sale home, you can lock in today’s home prices before they rise even further, which is likely as Edmonton’s economy continues to grow. Additionally, with interest rates forecasted to drop, you may have the opportunity to secure a more favorable mortgage rate when your home is ready. Are you buying your first home? Our guide can help!

Top Financial Benefits of Buying a Pre-Sale Home:

Building a home offers significant financial advantages:

More Time to Save: With pre-sale homes, you’ll have several months to save for your down payment or closing costs while your home is under construction. This added flexibility can be a game-changer for many buyers.

Price Stability: Pre-sale homes protect you from the unpredictability of the market. Once you sign your contract, your price is locked in, safeguarding you from potential price increases in Edmonton’s booming market.

First-Time Homebuyer Incentives: Take advantage of government programs that make it easier for first-time buyers to enter the market. Learn more about these programs here.

How the Pre-Sale process Lets You Customize Your Dream Home:

When you build a pre-sale home with Cantiro, you get to create a space designed for your life, rather than compromising with an older home. Many older homes in Edmonton come with risks such as outdated wiring, asbestos, and lead plumbing. Pre-sale homes, by contrast, are modern, energy-efficient, and built with today’s safety standards.

At Cantiro, we make the customization process simple. It all starts with choosing your lot—whether you prefer a corner lot or the middle of a cul-de-sac. From there, you can select a floor plan from our Life Collection that best suits your lifestyle. We provide five different interior style options to provide a cohesive look and feel.

While these interior styles are absolutely beautiful, there is always room to create something even more unique and that’s where our personalization packages come in. We have three different packages to choose from that will allow you to customize your house even more: from mixing and matching elements across interior styles and floor plans, to other unique customizations.

Whether you want to mix and match design elements or add a fourth bedroom on the main floor, Cantiro gives you the flexibility to design a home that fits your life.

Economic Growth: Why the Best Time to Build is now

Edmonton’s robust economy makes now an ideal time to invest in a home. According to the Alberta 2024-25 Fiscal Update, the city is experiencing:

Rapid population growth driven by strong migration and a young workforce.
Diverse job opportunities in tech, resources, and other high-demand industries.
Low unemployment rates paired with steady wages, creating a strong housing demand.

With its vibrant economic outlook, Edmonton offers an unparalleled opportunity to invest in your future.
