Buying pre-construction at The Cedars
Buying pre-construction usually starts with registering, which can give early access to floorplans, pricing and release dates. Because The Cedars is coming soon, registering now is a practical first step, particularly for the later ownership phases.
Deposits on new homes are commonly staged over time rather than paid at once, and the builder confirms the exact schedule in the agreement. Buyers of new condos often move in at interim occupancy before final closing, when title transfers. In Ontario, buyers of new condominium units have a 10-day cooling-off period under the Condominium Act. Have a lawyer review any agreement.
Buying early in a release can mean a wider choice of suites and floors. It does not guarantee any outcome in value. Terms for the rental co-op phase and ownership phases will be confirmed by Options for Homes.
