I wasn't a fan of pre-con.
Then the numbers changed.
For years the premium over resale did not make sense to me. Today some projects price at or even below resale, two new rebate programs are in play, and almost nothing written online has caught up.

For a long stretch I steered people away from pre-construction. The premium over resale was real, the closings were years out, and you were essentially paying for the privilege of waiting. The math did not work.
That has genuinely changed. Some low-rise releases are now priced at or even below comparable resale, and two rebate programs landed this year that can return a six-figure amount to a qualifying buyer. For the first time in a while, the numbers are worth a serious look.
What has not changed is the quality of the information. There is more noise and more misconception around pre-construction right now than I have ever seen. Rules shifted mid-year. Half of what is written online is out of date, and a good deal of the rest was written to move units.
Their job is to sell the project. Mine is to help you decide whether it is right for you.
Which is why relationships matter more than listings. I am in front of these developers and these real estate lawyers every week, day in and day out. That is how you find out which builders actually hit their closing dates, who will move on an amendment this quarter, and which releases are worth your weekends.
I work in freehold low-rise, detached homes, townhomes and semis, because it is where I can be genuinely useful. It is also the corner of the market that gets written about least, since most pre-construction coverage is aimed at condominiums.

Straight answers, sourced
Every claim on this site about rebates, deposits or warranties cites the CRA notice or Tarion page it came from, so you can check it rather than take my word for it.
Direct access to me
Small caseload on purpose. You deal with me from the first enquiry through to possession, not a team you get handed to.
What I'm not
A lawyer, an accountant or a mortgage agent. The rebate content on this site explains published CRA and Tarion rules and cites its sources. When a question turns on the law or on your tax position, I will tell you to take it to the right person. On a rebate worth up to $80,000, that is the only responsible answer.
