Frequently Asked Questions

Since 1966, Glenview has been deeply rooted in Ottawa’s real estate industry, delivering exceptional commercial and residential communities with hands-on experience, deep insight into buyer preferences and an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of quality and service.

Glenview Homes was introduced with the launch of Monahan Landing in Kanata. Now, with a portfolio of five successful master-planned communities and more on the way, we’ve built homes in many of Ottawa’s most desirable neighbourhoods, including Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata and Kemptville.

It varies, depending on a number of factors:

1. Upon receipt of a building permit and with shovels beginning your basement excavation, there’s typically a 6 month building cycle for single detached homes and townhomes.
2. However, new homes are sometimes sold prior to roads and site servicing being complete. In these cases, actual home construction does not begin until the roads and site servicing are complete. Closing dates in these instances may be 20 months or longer from the time of sale.

We are a production home builder and not a custom home builder. In that regard, our floorplans have been designed with homeowners’ needs in mind, and we offer many different pre-planned design options for you to personalize your home’s interior features and finishes.

The scheduling of your appointment will depend on your closing date. You’ll be contacted by the design studio to coordinate appointment times. In the meantime, to get the most out of the process, you can get ready for your appointments by visiting the design studio during our open house hours on Tuesdays between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. We ask that all visitors please call ahead for an appointment to ensure we can accommodate you.

Yes. Glenview provides one guided tour of your home during the construction process. For your safety and management of liability, we’re unable to allow buyers to walk through the homes unattended.

You can expect some variation during the construction process. At times, it’ll seem like construction is progressing fast, and other times it may seem slow. There will be times when the home and lot are neat and tidy, and other times when it seems cluttered or messy. All of this is normal in the new home construction process.

All homes are covered by a Glenview Homes warranty, which is backed by Tarion. Please visit the Tarion website for more information on the warranty coverage provided.

With a fixed-rate mortgage the interest rate remains constant (fixed) for the entire term of your mortgage. While allowing for predictable payments, if interest rates decrease your rate will not change. With variable rate mortgages, interest rates can fluctuate; this format often offers lower interest rates initially but monthly payments can be unpredictable if interest rates change.

Pre-qualification is an estimate of how much you may be able to borrow to purchase your new home. Pre-approval is a more thorough process that determines your capacity for a loan according to various criteria.  Connect with a Glenview preferred mortgage partner to learn more.

The choice of a mortgage loan term depends on a combination of factors including financial capabilities, budget, and risk tolerance. Consult with one of our preferred mortgage advisors for personalized guidance.
