FAQs
Why Choose
A HAbitat Build?
What are the differences between a Habitat Build and another Build in the Marketplace?
No difference. Habitat Builds must meet the Ontario Building Code, like any other builder. We use contracted services to construct our builds and specifications as any production builder does.
What kind of warranty is offered on the home?
Habitat GW is a licensed home builder under the HCRA. each home has the New Home Warranty upheld by Tarion.
Is the Construction all completed by volunteers?
Approximately 95% of our construction is completed by contracted services. We utilize volunteer labour to help the community get involved in our builds. Some items that volunteers complete are: back-framing, priming and miscellaneous handyman tasks.
Who lives in a Habitat Community?
Habitat Partner Families are families who are currently living in need (unsafe, unsuitable, or unaffordable conditions), and are unable to attain homeownership through conventional means. Habitat families make a household income of $64,500-$113,000. Habitat offers them a hand-up and a passive second mortgage at 0% interest. Habitat families are supplied with a first mortgage at market interest rates at 30% of their income. This allows families to build equity and live in a suitable home.
How do you price your units?
All units are sold at Fair Market Value.
Are all market units within the same block?
Units sold on the market are situated in different blocks within the community due to the specific offering of units.
Why should I choose a Habitat Build versus another one on the Marketplace?
By purchasing a Habitat Build you are purchasing a builder-grade home while supporting your community in building affordable housing. You are a part of a community that is inclusive to all walks of life and are assisting those in need to attain homeownership.
