A Network of Builders Working Together to Deliver Quality New Homes & Renovations
WHAT IS THE HOLMES BUILDER NETWORK?
The program aims to assist current or new homeowners in working with a builder or renovator from the Holmes Builder Network who has committed to excellence in building performance, which includes third-party inspections conducted by trusted partners, including Mike Holmes Inspections, to help ensure the project is done right the first time.
When you build or renovate your home, you want to work with committed individuals who are not only skilled but also passionate about delivering the best for your home. The entire team is here to help you as you go with tips, best practices and even design ideas.
Helping you get to your Homeowner goals
The HBN network is designed to assist homeowners in achieving satisfaction by educating homeowners about building better, what to look for in your project, and meeting modern families’ needs for comfort, safety, and functionality.
Fostering Innovation
The HBN network works with premium manufacturers, builders and experts to inspire informed innovation by encouraging builders to adopt techniques, technologies, and materials that improve building performance, durability and comfort.
Third-Party Inspections
New Home Builders who want to build better welcome third-party inspections as the information they receive will help them build better. If you are looking for a better build, ask about the third-party inspection process and what it covers to better understand what you get with your purchase or add-ons to your project.
Build For The Future
The HBN collection of builders shares information, expertise, experience and methodologies to help educate and promote better building practices, not only to benefit homeowners but other builders as well. These practices encourage builders to learn and adopt advanced, sustainable construction techniques and technologies for efficient, eco-friendly homes.

National home sales are expected to grind slightly higher as summer progresses and buyers step in, but overall price growth remains flat to soft due to high borrowing costs, economic uncertainty, and reduced immigration targets.
Market Activity and Sales VolumeNational Resale Activity:
Sales volumes are seeing a tentative, slow grind upward in the back half of the year after a sluggish start, though activity stays below historical decade averages.
Buyer Sentiment: A shift toward cautious, discerning buyers rather than impulse purchasers has slowed down immediate transaction velocity.
Home Prices and Regional DivergenceNational Average Prices: Expected to remain largely flat or post very modest single-digit gains (around 1.1% nationally for the full year, per updated CREA Forecasts).
Ontario and British Columbia: Major markets like Toronto and Vancouver continue to experience soft or downward price adjustments (down low-single digits year-over-year).
The Prairies and Quebec: Regions like Alberta (including Calgary and Edmonton) and parts of Quebec (such as Montreal and Quebec City) continue to outperform the national average with steady price growth.
Construction and Rental MarketsHousing Starts: New construction continues to face downward pressure and decline nationally as builders pull back due to elevated inventories and high building costs.
Rental Construction: Multi-family and rental starts are easing from their recent historical peaks, and while rent growth is slowing down in major centers, affordability challenges persist for tenants

Elite Cladding has the patented AuraLok™ Panel Connector System, an interlocking system that locks panels tight to ensure a seamless, gap-free fit.
This tight alignment blocks drafts and prevents conditioned indoor air from escaping.
Veyros™ Technology minimizes the natural expansion and contraction of PVC caused by weather and temperature swings, preventing the siding from warping, buckling, or shifting over time.
