Pre-construction, worked out in the open

New KWCG projects taken apart on the numbers that decide a purchase: the deposit schedule in dollars, the price basis, what the record does and does not verify — plus how builder worksheets and allocation order actually work.

  How to read a builder price list: the seven lines that change the number

  A from-price is a starting line, not the price. The basis label, the HST treatment, the deposit box and the E.&O.E. date — read from real records in this catalogue.

  Deposit structures compared: what KWCG builders actually ask, in dollars

  Five live deposit schedules from this catalogue — percentage ladders, flat-dollar towns and a first-time-buyer track — converted into the actual cheques, dates and totals.

The arithmetic between signing and keys: deposits, closing costs, HST and rebates, interim occupancy, cooling-off rights and assignment rules — described generally, sourced to the official pages, never sold as advice.

  Closing costs on a $700,000 Ontario pre-construction home, line by line

  HST, the new housing rebates and land transfer tax on a $700,000 new build — the three lines with published arithmetic, worked exactly, plus the lines no honest table can fill in for you.

  Interim occupancy, explained from the fee formula out

  The months between getting your keys and owning your condo: what the occupancy fee is legally made of, why none of it pays down your purchase, and what ends it.

  The 30-day rule: why prices disappear from this site on purpose

  Every price here carries the date it was last verified — and is withdrawn after 30 days without re-verification. What the rule does, what it costs, and what it refuses to do.

  Assignment sales, step by step: consent, the money parts, and the tax change

  Selling your pre-construction contract before closing — the builder's consent gate, what the assignee actually pays for, and why every assignment of new housing has been taxable since May 2022.

  The 10-day cooling-off period: a condo right, not a pre-con right

  Ontario's statutory 10-day rescission covers new condominiums — all 58 condo records in this catalogue — and does not cover a standalone freehold purchase. How the clock actually runs.

Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph counted from this catalogue and nothing else: how many projects, in which status, at what verified prices — and what the catalogue cannot yet prove.

  KWCG launch roundup: 115 projects counted, 24 in the launch queue

  Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph from this catalogue's records only — the status split, the 24 coming-soon projects by name, and what the data cannot yet tell you.

  Cambridge's new-build map: 32 projects, two shelves, one condo pipeline

  Every Cambridge record in the catalogue, mapped: 11 now selling against 11 coming — all of them condos — plus the eight verified prices and the areas doing the building.
