Laurelcrest Homes
3 active developments by Laurelcrest Homes across Cambridge, Whitby, Oshawa.
Laurelcrest Homes currently has three active new-construction projects listed on this platform, spread across three Ontario cities: Whitby, Oshawa and Cambridge. Two of the projects are townhome communities and one is a single-family detached project.
The sample projects give a sense of the range. Lynden Heights and Heartwood Village are the two townhome offerings, and Detached Homes in East Cambridge is the single-family project. Together they cover both the eastern Greater Toronto Area corridor (Whitby and Oshawa) and Waterloo Region (Cambridge).
Because the mix is freehold-style product rather than condominium apartments, buyers should confirm the tenure and legal structure of each project directly. Pricing, floor plans, deposit schedules and closing dates are set project by project, so review each listing for current details.

Buying a Laurelcrest Homes pre-construction home
How buying pre-construction works
Buyers typically register interest first, which can give early access to pricing and available homes. After choosing a home, you sign an agreement of purchase and sale and pay deposits on the schedule it sets. Many new homes involve a period of construction, followed by occupancy and final closing, when the balance is due and title transfers.
For Ontario, a 10-day cooling-off (rescission) period applies to new and pre-construction condos under the Condominium Act. It does not apply to freehold houses. Since Laurelcrest's current projects here are townhomes and detached homes, buyers should not assume that period covers them, and should have a lawyer review the agreement before signing.
For investors: what to evaluate
Pre-construction purchases generally let a buyer secure a home with a staged deposit schedule, then pay the balance at closing, often well after signing. That structure ties up capital over a longer period, and the value of the home at closing may be higher, lower or the same as the purchase price. No outcome is guaranteed.
With projects in Whitby, Oshawa and Cambridge, local factors will differ. Compare nearby supply and how quickly comparable homes sell, rental demand for townhomes versus detached houses, and the carrying costs through to closing. Review the agreement of purchase and sale, the deposit timeline and the builder's estimated occupancy dates before committing, and consider independent legal and financial advice.
For first-time buyers
Deposits on pre-construction homes are usually paid in stages, for example at signing and at later set dates, rather than all at once. The total required varies by project, so check each listing's deposit schedule and make sure you can meet it, along with the closing costs and mortgage qualification at the end.
First-time buyers in Ontario may be eligible for government programs such as the federal First Home Savings Account or the land transfer tax rebate for first-time buyers. Eligibility rules change, so confirm current terms. Registering early can give you access to project information, pricing and floor plan releases before they are widely available.
