New Builds in Hamilton by Home Type
- Townhomes. 14 communities, starting prices from $299,000.
- Semi-detached homes. 1 community, published semi-detached prices from $792,113.
- Detached homes. 7 communities, published detached prices from $900,000.
- Condos and stacked towns. 7 communities, starting prices from $300,000.
Some builders publish prices after the HST rebate and some before, so each community above shows its own basis. A community's starting price is usually its smallest home. Lot width, garage type and what is included change the price more than the model name does.
Where New Homes Are Being Built in Hamilton
New homes in Hamilton are spread across the Mountain, Stoney Creek, Binbrook and Ancaster, while condos rise downtown and near the Hamilton GO and West Harbour GO stations. Most low-rise releases are freehold townhomes and detached homes, often at lower starting prices than Halton.
For neighbourhoods, commute and local contract points, read the Hamilton buyer guide.
What a New House in Hamilton Costs Beyond the Price
- Deposits. Builders usually ask for 10 to 20 percent over the first year or two. Map yours with the deposit schedule tool.
- The $130,000 HST rebate. See if you qualify and what it does to your price.
- Closing costs. Land transfer tax, legal fees and builder adjustments are due at closing. Total them with the closing costs calculator.
- The mortgage at closing. You qualify again at closing, at the rates of that day. Test it with the closing day readiness check.
Questions Buyers Ask
How many pre-construction projects are there in Hamilton?
Dream Villa currently tracks 21 new-home communities in Hamilton: 13 selling now and 8 launching soon. The list changes as builders release and sell out phases.
What is the starting price of a new build in Hamilton?
The lowest published starting price on our Hamilton list today is $299,000. Prices change with each release, and some builders have not published prices yet. Ask for the current price list before you compare.
Are there move-in ready new homes in Hamilton?
Yes. 3 of the 21 communities on our Hamilton list have move-in ready or quick-closing homes today.
Which builders are selling new homes in Hamilton?
Builder and community names are not shown on the public list. They are sent with the current price list, floor plans and site plan when you ask on any community.
Do I need a realtor to buy a new home from a builder in Hamilton?
You do not have to use one, but the sales office works for the builder. Builders typically pay the buyer's agent's commission on new construction, so representation usually costs the buyer nothing; confirm this for your project before you sign. Register your own agent on or before your first visit, because many builders only recognise an agent who is there at first contact.
Is there a cooling-off period on a new home in Hamilton?
Only on new condos, which have 10 days under the Condominium Act. Freehold homes have no cooling-off period, so have the agreement reviewed before you sign.
