EP 59 Building A New Home
About this episode
This episode discusses the key considerations for buying a newly built home, including legal differences, financing, and builder contracts.
In this episode of The Clear Money Mindset, we’re talking all things new builds—what makes buying a brand-new home different from purchasing a resale, and what every buyer should know before jumping in. Host Ben Davies is joined by a knowledgeable panel: Alyssa Ismail, Real Estate Agent with Century 21, Sebastian Schmoranz from MSSH Lawyers, and Rob & Sandra Zanet from Indi Mortgages. We explore key legal differences, financing challenges, hidden costs, and how to navigate builder contracts. From zoning surprises and Tarion warranties to construction loans and mortgage timelines, this episode covers everything buyers should consider before committing to a pre-construction or newly built home in Ontario. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just curious about the process, this episode will help you feel informed and confident when considering a new home build.
