Eight reasons to buy a brand-new home

July 24, 2026

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments many people will make in their lifetime. A home should be built for the way you live today. When planning for your next home, consider the following features, benefits, and peace of mind that a brand-new house can bring.

Get the home you want

a) You can choose a floor plan perfectly tailored to your wants and needs. You get the home you want instead of settling for whatever is available on the market.



b) Besides designing the perfect floor plan for you and your family, you also get to make all your interior selections. Select your cabinet style and colours, countertops, flooring, paint colours, and more. Customizing without having to renovate saves you time, money, and stress.

Warranty and peace of mind


Everything is brand new. Nearly everything from the major appliances to the windows, to the furnace and roof, is covered under warranty. In addition to manufacturer and supplier warranties, you also get the peace of mind knowing your new home is protected with the 1-2-5-10 warranty from the Alberta New Home Warranty Program.


Price Protection Guarantee


When you purchase a Laebon Home you have the extra peace of mind knowing you won’t pay more for your home than the agreed upon purchase price on your sales agreement…If the base price of the home you are building goes up during construction, you won’t pay more. If the base price goes down, we’ll refund you the difference.


Energy efficiency and safety

a) There have been many advances in construction and design over the years; everything from the building materials to the heating systems are more energy-efficient, helping you save money and help the environment.

b) You can also look forward to clean indoor air quality in a new home, as you won’t have to deal with any lingering odours or mould from past owners.

c) Today’s construction standards and building codes ensure that homes are built using up-to-date materials and products, and that every aspect of your home is designed to operate with the highest level of safety and effectiveness. It is comforting knowing you have the best protection available to you to ensure you and your family are safe and protected.

Enjoy the latest in technology 


New homes come with the latest technology built right in! Items like sophisticated alarm systems, home automation, integrated home entertainment centres, sound surround systems, and more are commonly found in new homes. Not to mention modern homes are built with more electrical outlets spaced at more reasonable intervals to safely plug in all your various devices wherever you may conveniently need them.


Pick your home site

a) Park backing, tree backing, pie-shaped, and walk-out home sites are just a few of the examples of the type of home sites we have available. When you build with Laebon you can choose the home site you want in one of the many beautiful communities throughout Central Alberta that we are currently building in or…If you own an acreage or your own home site, we can build you your dream home there too. 



b) One feature that is often overlooked when buying a new home is when you live in a new community all your services are brand new and are underground. You don’t have electrical wires overhead running into your home and your service pipes (water, sewer) and roads are all brand new!



We cover your legal fees


Why pay legal fees? When using Laebon’s trusted legal partner for your new home, we will pay your legal fees! That’s just one less thing to worry about before taking possession of your beautiful new home. Also included in the purchase price of your new home; home site, G.S.T., and a real property report.


Referral Program


Once you purchase a Laebon Home you’re part of the family. We believe in “The Spirit of Community” whereas family helps family, friends help friends, and neighbours help neighbours. It is in this spirit that we encourage our homeowners to share their experience. Each referral could earn them $1,000. Just think of what you could do with a $1,000 windfall—maybe a new big screen T.V., mini-vacation, or the perfect piece of artwork for your new home.
