New build or resale?
New: you choose finishes, get a home warranty and move into something nobody has lived in. You also take on a builder contract, a deposit schedule, a possession date that can move, and landscaping or a fence that may be your job. Resale: the neighbourhood is finished, the price includes the yard, and the closing date is firm. Established communities such as Kings Heights, Williamstown and Hillcrest are resale markets now.
What should you check in a builder contract?
- The deposit schedule and when deposits become non-refundable.
- What is standard and what is an upgrade, with prices in writing.
- How the possession date can change, and what happens if it does.
- Who is responsible for landscaping, fencing and the driveway.
- The home warranty provider and what it covers.
- Any GST rebate the builder applies at closing.
How does a buyer’s agent help on a new build?
We compare the base price and upgrades with recent resale prices nearby, read the purchase agreement with you, and push for the extras that are worth having. Many builders ask that your agent be registered on your first visit, so call us first: 403-774-7447.
