1. Informational and Advertising Platform Only

NewHomeFinder is an independent new home search, discovery and advertising platform. We display information about new home communities, builders, developers, models, floor plans, prices, incentives, locations, local amenities and related content.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, NewHomeFinder is not a builder, developer, lender, municipality, government agency, home warranty provider, real estate brokerage, real estate agent, mortgage broker, financial advisor, lawyer, appraiser, engineer, inspector or planning consultant.

The Website is provided for general informational and advertising purposes only. Nothing on the Website is an offer to sell, lease, finance or purchase real estate.

2. Listing Information May Be Inaccurate, Incomplete or Out of Date

New home information changes frequently. Prices, availability, incentives, promotions, taxes, fees, lot premiums, deposits, closing costs, occupancy dates, floor plans, models, specifications, square footage, dimensions, included features, upgrades, finishes, elevations, community plans, maps, amenities and other details may change without notice.

Listing information may be provided by builders, developers, sales offices, advertisers, service providers, public sources or other third parties. Although we try to provide useful information, we do not guarantee that any content on the Website is accurate, complete, current, available, suitable for your needs or error-free.

Errors and omissions may occur.

3. Verify All Information Directly

You are responsible for confirming all details directly with the builder, developer, sales office, municipality, lender, home warranty provider, real estate professional, lawyer or other appropriate professional before making any decision.

Before signing any agreement, you should confirm all important details in writing and ensure they are included in the applicable Agreement of Purchase and Sale or other binding contract. Information shown on NewHomeFinder does not replace the official documents, disclosures, price lists, feature sheets, contracts, warranty documents, condominium documents, municipal records or other materials provided by the builder, developer or relevant authority.

If there is a difference between information shown on NewHomeFinder and information provided by the builder, developer, sales office, municipality or signed contract, the official source or signed contract will govern.

4. Prices, Taxes, Fees and Incentives

Any prices, “from” prices, estimated prices, incentives, promotions, deposits, monthly payment examples, closing cost references, tax examples, HST/GST references, development charges, municipal charges, lot premiums, upgrade prices, condominium fees, maintenance fees or other cost information shown on the Website are for general reference only.

They may be subject to conditions, exclusions, eligibility requirements, limited availability, change or cancellation without notice.

You should ask the builder or developer to confirm the current price, deposit structure, taxes, HST/GST treatment, lot premiums, upgrades, development charges, municipal charges, utility obligations, rental equipment obligations, condominium fees, maintenance fees, closing adjustments, occupancy fees, warranty fees, assignment rules and any other costs before making a decision.

5. Floor Plans, Models, Specifications and Square Footage

Floor plans, model details, layouts, dimensions, square footage, elevations, room sizes, included features, finishes, appliances, parking, storage, lot dimensions, views and other specifications may be approximate, preliminary, optional, upgraded, discontinued or subject to change.

A model, plan, unit, lot or home shown on the Website may not be available, may not be available at the displayed price, or may differ from the final product.

Do not rely on Website content alone when choosing a home, model, floor plan, lot, unit or community.

6. Images, Renderings, Videos and Virtual Tours

Images, renderings, videos, virtual tours, maps, streetscapes, model home photos, community illustrations and similar visual content may be artist’s concepts, examples, stock images, historical images, staged images, upgraded model homes, preliminary designs or third-party materials.

They may not represent the final home, community, lot, unit, view, streetscape, included features, finishes, landscaping, surrounding area or actual conditions.

If a visual detail is important to your purchase decision, you should confirm it directly with the builder or developer and ensure it is included in writing in your purchase documents.

7. Maps, Locations, Travel Times and Local Amenities

Maps, pins, distances, travel times, school references, transit references, parks, retailers, attractions, hospitals, community facilities and other local points of interest are provided for convenience only.

They may be approximate, incomplete, outdated or based on third-party sources. Access, admission, membership, eligibility, catchment areas, school boundaries, transit routes, hours, availability and travel times may change.

No affiliation, endorsement, partnership or sponsorship is implied between NewHomeFinder and any nearby business, school, municipality, attraction, institution or point of interest unless clearly stated.

8. Calculators, Estimates and Savings Tools

NewHomeFinder may provide calculators, affordability tools, HST/GST relief estimates, rebate estimates, mortgage payment examples, budget estimates, savings examples or similar tools.

These tools are provided for general informational purposes only and use simplified assumptions. Results may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or not applicable to your circumstances.

Actual savings, rebates, taxes, payments, affordability, mortgage approval, eligibility and purchase costs may vary based on builder pricing, government rules, lender requirements, credit history, verified income, debts, down payment, interest rates, amortization, property taxes, condominium fees, heating costs, insurance, closing costs, legal details and other factors.

Calculator results are not a guarantee, quote, approval, offer, tax opinion, legal opinion, mortgage advice, financial advice or real estate advice. You should confirm all information with the builder, developer, lender, mortgage professional, lawyer, accountant, tax professional or other qualified advisor before making decisions.

9. Builder, Developer and Third-Party Content

The Website may include content supplied by builders, developers, sales offices, advertisers, data providers or other third parties. We are not responsible for third-party errors, omissions, delays, outdated information, representations, warranties, promises, pricing, availability, services, contracts, policies or conduct.

Displaying a builder, developer, community, model, local amenity or third-party service on NewHomeFinder does not mean that we endorse, guarantee, verify or recommend that party, unless we clearly say otherwise.

You are responsible for doing your own research before dealing with any builder, developer, sales office, lender, professional or third party.

10. No Builder Due Diligence Guarantee

NewHomeFinder may choose which communities, builders or developments to display. However, this does not mean that we have completed legal, financial, construction, warranty, safety, consumer protection, municipal, engineering or reputation due diligence on any builder, developer, project or property.

Past performance, awards, reviews, advertising claims, imagery or featured placement should not be treated as a guarantee of future quality, service, delivery, construction, pricing or customer experience.

11. User Inquiries and Lead Forms

If you submit a form, request information, request a tour, ask to be contacted, save a home, create an account, subscribe to updates or otherwise provide your information through the Website, you authorize us to use that information to respond to your request and, where relevant, share it with the applicable builder, developer, sales office, advertiser or service provider.

Those third parties may contact you directly. Their use of your information may be governed by their own privacy policies and practices.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to third-party websites, builder websites, developer websites, sales office pages, mapping tools, calculators, social media pages, mortgage providers, advertisers or other services.
