Every project selling in Brampton and Caledon — with the deposit schedules, closing costs and trade-offs sales centres don’t lead with.

Why this exists

15 projects across two cities and the one question every buyer asks: what will this really cost me? We read the price lists, the deposit schedules and the fine print then lay it all out side by side — from GO-line towns in Brampton to big-lot homes under the Caledon escarpment.

Buyer’s guide

Pre-construction takes two to four years. Here’s what happens at each stage — and the one thing that most often goes wrong.

The full guide
  1. Hands holding a printed site plan beside a scale model of a new community
    01Before launch

    Register and research

    Builders open registration lists months ahead. Registered buyers and their agents see floor plans and pricing first, often with better lots.

    Watch for‘VIP pricing’ is often the launch price everyone gets. Ask what is actually different.

  2. A hand signing a thick contract with a fountain pen
    02Day 0

    Sign the agreement

    The agreement of purchase and sale (APS) and its Tarion addendum set your price, deposits, closing dates, caps on extra charges and assignment rights.

    Watch forFreehold contracts are binding the moment both sides sign. Read it with your lawyer first, not after.

  3. A stack of post-dated cheques beside a bank envelope and calendar
    03Months 0–12

    Pay the deposits

    Most GTA freehold projects take 10–20% in instalments over the first year; condos often take 15–20% spread to occupancy.

    Watch forBuilder receiverships happen. Peel buyers have lost years waiting on stalled projects.

  4. Tile, quartz and flooring samples on a design-centre table
    04Months 6–36

    Construction and selections

    You’ll book a décor appointment to choose finishes. Upgrades are usually paid up front, and they don’t always appraise.

    Watch forPrice upgrades against what a lender will value. A $40,000 kitchen can’t be financed if the appraisal won’t carry it.

  5. An appraiser measuring the exterior of a new brick home
    05120–60 days before closing

    Mortgage and appraisal

    Pre-approvals expire after 90–120 days, so the real mortgage is arranged near the end. The lender will appraise the home at today’s value, not the price you signed.

    Watch forRun the closing stress test with a 10% lower appraisal before you sign — not at the end.

  6. Blue painter’s tape marking marks on fresh drywall
    061–2 weeks before closing

    Pre-delivery inspection

    You walk through the finished home with the builder’s rep and record every defect and unfinished item on the Tarion PDI form.

    Watch forDon’t sign the form if items are missing. Write them down first.

  7. New house keys on a quartz kitchen island
    07Key day

    Closing (and condo occupancy)

    Freehold: ownership transfers and you get the keys. Condo: you move in during interim occupancy and pay an occupancy fee until the building registers.

    Watch forBudget 3–5% of the price on top of your down payment for closing day.

  8. A new home’s porch on its first snowy evening
    08Years 1–7

    Warranty

    Tarion’s warranty runs one year for workmanship and materials, two years for water penetration and building systems, and seven years for major structural defects.

    Watch forMiss the 30-day and year-end forms and you lose leverage. Diary them on closing day.

The cost to close

New homes carry costs resale homes don’t — and in 2026, rebates resale homes don’t get either. Move the price and see both sides.

  • Every figure is dated.

    Prices, deposits and incentives carry the month we checked them and where they came from.

  • We name the trade-offs.

    Every listing has a ‘worth weighing’ list: the truck route, the missing school, the GO station 12 km away.

  • Images are labelled.

    Builder renderings are marked as renderings. Atmosphere photography is marked illustrative.

  • We say how we’re paid.

    Builders pay a co-operating commission when a buyer we represent purchases. It never changes your price.
