What’s being built in Grimsby
Grimsby’s new supply is almost entirely condominium rather than freehold low-rise, the waterfront strip has drawn mid-rise development while the escarpment and the agricultural tender fruit lands constrain subdivision growth. Freehold buyers will find limited choice here.
Communities that have launched or are actively selling here include:
- Century Condos (DeSantis)
- Grimsby Waterfront (Losani)
- The Woolverton (Castlepoint Numa)
Availability changes week to week and the best lots in any phase go early, register for access and I’ll send what’s releasing here.
Builders active in Grimsby: Rosehaven Homes, DeSantis Homes, Losani Homes, Castlepoint Numa.
Builder choice matters more than most buyers expect. Delivery record, reliability on closing dates and how warranty items get handled vary enormously and appear on no price list. How to assess a builder.
What the rebates are worth at local prices
New low-rise here currently runs roughly $356,000 to $789,000, and that band decides your rebate position. Here is the arithmetic at both ends.
| At $356,000 | At $789,000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario ENHR (no first-time buyer test) | $28,480 | $63,120 |
| Federal rebate (first-time buyers only) | $17,800 | $39,450 |
At the entry end, a home at $356,000 sits below $1,000,000, which means the full 8% Ontario rebate, $28,480, plus the full 5% federal rebate for a first-time buyer. This is the most favourable band in the whole structure.
If you have owned a home before, note that the Ontario rebate still applies to you, it has no first-time buyer test, and move-up buyers routinely assume otherwise and claim nothing. Read this one.
These are illustrative maximums at the ends of the local range, not a quote. Run your own numbers.
Land transfer tax
Grimsby is outside the City of Toronto, so you pay Ontario land transfer tax only, with no second municipal tax. Rates and the first-time buyer refund.
