What a New House in Oshawa Costs Beyond the Price

Questions Buyers Ask
How many pre-construction projects are there in Oshawa?
Dream Villa currently tracks 11 new-home communities in Oshawa: 7 selling now and 4 launching soon. The list changes as builders release and sell out phases.
What is the starting price of a new build in Oshawa?
The lowest published starting price on our Oshawa list today is $225,321. 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 Oshawa?
None of the communities on our Oshawa list shows move-in ready homes today. Builders release finished homes from time to time, so ask if this matters to you.
Which builders are selling new homes in Oshawa?
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 Oshawa?
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 Oshawa?
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.
