Exciting things are happening at Doug Tarry Homes, and we’re thrilled to share the latest with you!
First, a huge congratulations to sales team in Eagle Ridge. The new lots have generated a lot of interest and started to sell. This vibrant new community is quickly becoming the talk of St. Thomas, and it’s no surprise why. With beautifully designed lots and the promise of Doug Tarry quality, it’s the perfect place to build your dream home. If you’ve been thinking about making a move, now is the time! Come visit us at our Model Home located at 1 Firefly Lane and chat with Andy or Cathy, we’d love to help you find your perfect fit in St. Thomas’s most exclusive subdivision.
This past month, some of our team members had the amazing opportunity to attend the Trade and Supplier Lean Day at the Masonic Centre of Elgin. It was an inspiring event focused on collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in building practices. We believe in working smarter and building better, and connecting with our trusted trade partners on lean practices is just one more way we’re raising the bar in homebuilding.
We also had a fantastic weekend at the St. Thomas Home Show! It was wonderful to meet so many new faces and reconnect with familiar ones. Throughout the weekend, we had the chance to talk about all the exciting projects underway, share sneak peeks of what’s coming next, and explain what truly sets a Doug Tarry Home apart—superior craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and a commitment to building a better future.
To support the next generation of homeowners, we also launched a special promotion this month: First-time homebuyers can save $5,000! Helping more people achieve the dream of homeownership is something we’re passionate about, and this incentive makes it even easier for buyers to find the perfect starting point with Doug Tarry Homes.
And finally, our Sales Team recently updated their headshots—thanks to the talented team at CVD Photography! But you’ll have to wait until next month for the full reveal. These fresh photos will help put some new faces to the names you already know and trust.
As always, thank you for being part of our community.
Until next month!

QUICK COMPARISON TABLE
Investing in an ENERGY STAR® Net Zero home is one of the smartest choices you can make — for your wallet, your comfort, and the planet. These homes are built to the highest standards of energy efficiency, combining advanced construction techniques, superior insulation, highperformance windows, and top-tier HVAC systems to dramatically reduce energy use. Paired with renewable energy like solar panels, a Net Zero home can eliminate your utility bills entirely. Beyond the savings, you'll enjoy a quieter, healthier, and more comfortable living environment with consistent indoor temperatures and cleaner air. Plus, as energy costs rise and sustainability becomes a top priority, Net Zero homes are not only future-proof — they’re likely to command a higher resale value. With green financing, and long-term savings, ENERGY STAR Net Zero homes simply offer more: more comfort, more value, and more peace of mind. All Doug Tarry Homes are Energy Star Net Zero ready homes. Come see the Doug Tarry Difference, we are sure to have House that you can call Home.

Why the Ashton is My Favourite Plan at Doug Tarry Homes
Out of all the plans we offer, the Ashton Townhome is hands-down my favourite — and here’s why.
With 1,600 sq. ft. of bright, open-concept living space, it just feels right the moment you walk in. The layout is super functional, with a spacious kitchen (fridge, stove & dishwasher included), and a great flow for both everyday life and entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a dream — complete with a large walk-in closet, private ensuite, and convenient upper floor laundry.
What really sets these homes apart? The location. Backing onto a walking trail, with a beautiful rear deck and a park right across the street, it’s a peaceful, family-friendly setting that you’ll love coming home to.
Starting at just $535,400 and move-in ready now, the Ashton truly delivers style, space, and value.

Designers Corner
When Doug Tarry Homes is designing their homes, they make sure to design the roofs in a way to fit enough solar panels to meet Net Zero Home requirements.
This includes large roofs with enough surface to make sure the solar panels can collect as much sunlight as possible and leaving space in the mechanical room for the required mechanical equipment for solar panels.
All three of our model homes in Eagles Ridge, Millers Pond and Harvest Run have had solar panels added to them.
Solar panels can be added to any of our single family homes, either as part of the upgrade to Net Zero home or adding them separately.
Warm regards,
the

Why a Doug Tarry home Might Not Be for You
You’re not into award-winning designs Floor plans that make sense? Where’s the fun in that? Who wants a home to be beautiful and functional, when you can enjoy the thrill of tripping over furniture that you are constantly rearranging to make fit? Who needs well thought out floor plans when you can embrace the fun of unusual layouts and light switches in all the wrong places? After all, that’s what keeps life interesting, right?
