Discovering a new home development is one of the most exciting steps in the homebuying journey—especially if you're considering a new build or pre-construction home.

But with so many beautiful designs and layouts, it's easy to get caught up in the moment. That’s why having a few points in mind, can help you stay focused and make informed decisions.


At Mikmada Homes, we’ve helped many families find their perfect home at Royal Valley.


  • Know Your Budget: Get pre-approved before your visit so you know what’s realistic for your family.
  • Understand What’s Included: Model homes often feature upgrades. Ask which finishes are standard and which are optional.
  • Evaluate the Floor Plan: Does the layout support your daily routine? Look at kitchen flow, bedroom placement, and storage.
  • Check the Community: Explore the surrounding area. Are there schools, parks, and grocery stores nearby? Mikmada’s communities are thoughtfully located for families who value convenience and connection.
  • Ask About Timelines: Understand build times, closing dates, and what kind of updates you'll receive throughout the construction process.
  • Think Long-Term: Will the home and neighborhood suit your needs in five or ten years?


Discovering a development should feel exciting—not overwhelming. With a little preparation and the right questions, you’ll feel more confident choosing the home that fits your lifestyle.
