What the Tariff Means for Buyers

What the Tariff Means for Buyers
  1. New Home Prices May Go Up
    Builders relying on imported materials (like kitchen cabinets, flooring, plumbing fixtures) may raise prices to offset their costs. This could make brand-new homes more expensive than expected — even in early construction stages.

  2. Delays in New Construction
    Some builders may delay new home releases or slow down completions due to higher material costs or supply issues. If you're hoping to move soon, this could affect your plans.

  3. Resale Homes May Offer Better Value
    Well-maintained, move-in ready resale homes might become more attractive — offering immediate possession, stable pricing, and no construction headaches.

🧭 What You Should Do as a Buyer

  • Get Fully Pre-Approved
    In a shifting market, having strong financing gives you confidence — and negotiating power.

  • Compare New Builds vs Resale
    You may be surprised how much more value a resale home offers, especially in established Edmonton neighborhoods like Terwillegar, Windermere, and Riverbend.

  • Watch for Well-Maintained Homes
    Properties that don’t require costly upgrades will save you money — especially now, with renovation materials also rising in price.
