Why Infill Homes Cost More (and Why They're Worth the Investment)
At Omni Homes, we specialize in creating beautiful, custom infill homes in Edmonton. We get it – infill homes often come with a higher price tag than their suburban counterparts. But before you write them off completely, let's explore why infill development can be more expensive, and the unique benefits they offer.
Higher Costs, Explained:
Land & Demolition: Infill involves utilizing existing lots, which can be pricier per square foot compared to the suburds. Additionally, demolition of existing structures and adding services, adds to the initial cost.
Permits & Approvals: Infill projects often require variances or special approvals from the city, leading to a more complex and time-consuming permitting process compared to new developments.
Logistical Challenges: Building in established neighbourhoods means working with smaller spaces and existing infrastructure. This can necessitate creative solutions and specialized labor, impacting cost.
Beyond the Price Tag: The Value of Infill
While the initial cost might be higher, infill developments offer distinct advantages:
Prime Locations: Infill homes are situated in established neighborhoods, close to amenities, schools, and vibrant community life.
Sustainable Choice: Infill revitalizes existing communities, reducing urban sprawl and promoting a more eco-friendly approach to development.
Unique Designs: Infill projects push the boundaries of design, resulting in architecturally distinctive and often award-winning homes.
Increased Property Value: Infill homes tend to appreciate well due to their desirable locations and limited availability.
