Here is Part 2 to the post we shared earlier this week. 😀

🏡 TODAY’S COTTAGERS WANT CLEAN DESIGN, LOW MAINTENANCE, AND BETTER VALUE 💡
Part 2 (for Part 1 see the comments)

As homeowner preferences evolve, Olympic Homes is updating the features that define everyday living. Lighting is one example of how those shifts are taking shape.

“Wall sconces are dated,” says Derek Fyfe, general manager. “We’ve moved to including pot lights in the living room as standard. It’s a cleaner, more modern look, and it’s what people want now.”

Advancements in LED technology have made these upgrades more efficient and cost-effective.

“The new slimline LED pot lights are easier to install and more efficient,” housing consultant Jeannie Willms explains. “That allows us to offer better features without significantly increasing costs.”

It’s a small change that reflects a broader commitment to keeping homes current, functional, and aligned with modern expectations.

A Continued Focus on RTM Homes

While Olympic Homes has experience with on-site builds, its primary focus remains on RTM construction — an area where it has built a strong reputation.

By constructing homes in a controlled environment and then moving them to their final location, the company can maintain consistency, efficiency, and quality. That approach is especially relevant in today’s evolving market.

“There’s been a shift,” Fyfe notes. “When you’re looking at an older home or cottage for a signficant price tag, people start to ask, ‘why not spend a bit more and get something brand new?’”

Although construction costs have risen across the industry, RTM homes continue to offer strong value — combining modern design with new materials and reduced long-term maintenance.

“That’s the reality now,” he says. “It’s about weighing your options and seeing where you get the most value.”

To support that experience, Olympic Homes has also invested in how customers interact with the company from day one. One of the most visible changes this year is the newly renovated sales and design centre in Winnipeg. The company has combined its sales office and design centre into one upgraded space, creating a more streamlined and welcoming environment.

🏡SEE THE NEW RTM HOMES TURNING HEADS AT THE LAKE🏡
Part 1

For Winnipeg’s Olympic Homes, some of the most important design insights for cottages and homes come from an unexpected place: the back of the house.

“One of our most popular ready-to-move (RTM) home models has been recently redesigned based on feedback,” says Derek Fyfe, general manager of Olympic Homes. “People noted that when the building is placed on a waterfront property, the back becomes the front — and it didn’t have the curb appeal they wanted.”

That kind of real-world feedback is exactly what drives the Winnipeg-based builder’s approach. Rather than chasing trends, Olympic Homes focuses on listening, adapting, and continually refining its designs based on how homeowners actually live.

As 2026 unfolds, that philosophy is shaping a new lineup of show homes, updated features, and a continued focus on the company’s RTMs.

“We’re always looking at how we can improve what we offer,” Fyfe says. “A big part of that comes from customer feedback — what worked, what didn’t, and how people are actually living in their homes.”

Fresh Designs, Built on Real Feedback

This spring, Olympic Homes unveiled four brand-new RTM show homes, along with updated versions of two existing models — including the redesigned exterior of the Kingswood inspired by waterfront placement.

The changes go beyond aesthetics. By rethinking how homes are experienced on different types of lots, the company is ensuring its designs are both functional and visually appealing from every angle.

“We’ve added new design elements to make it much more visually appealing,” says Jeannie Willms, housing consultant for Olympic. “That’s the kind of refinement we’re always working on.”

As homeowner preferences evolve, Olympic Homes is also updating the features that define everyday living.

Lighting is one example of how those shifts are taking shape.

“Wall sconces are dated,” Fyfe says. “We’ve moved to including pot lights in the living room as standard. It’s a cleaner, more modern look, and it’s what people want now.”
