Construction Update: Pebble Creek and Summervale

by Falconcrest HomesSummervale in Bowmanville

The popularity for townhomes and semi detached units in the Greater Toronto Area has accelerated the number of housing developments Falconcrest Homes is working on. Here is a construction update on two of our latest communities: Pebble Creek and Summervale.

Pebble Creek

Located in the charming community of Woodbridge, Ontario, Pebble Creek is a new housing plan in the earliest stages of development. The site is currently fully serviced, and the construction of homes has not begun. Upon completion, the community will feature 59 townhomes and 4 semi-detached units in a naturally forested area. Each unit will be finished with heritage style stone and brick exteriors, and a luxurious interior finish. The new community will also feature a park that will be exclusive to its residents, and the naturally forested location will create a quiet, shaded escape from the busy, everyday city life.

Summervale

Summervale is a new development that will feature elegant homes in the community of Bowmanville, Ontario, just east of Toronto. Construction on these homes started on May 1st, and the plans are well underway for the development of the land. The site will feature 43 townhomes, semi and detached homes, each with elegant exterior finishes and meticulously planned architectural designs. Located very close to schools, walking trails, parks, and shopping, the community will be a family friendly neighbourhood. For commuting, the location is ideal, as it is near highway 2 and the 401, making access to the city effortless. This development is currently in phase I, and Phase II is tentatively planned for early 2018.

Regardless of whether you are a first time home buyer, or are searching for a new oasis to call your own, these two communities are only some of the examples of the many communities Falconcrest Homes is proud to provide to the housing market.

by Falconcrest HomesSavvy Buyer

When purchasing a new home, a “New Home Warranty” is an option that must be offered to the purchaser to help cover malfunctions or damage in the first few years of owning the home. Under the New Home Warranty Act in Ontario, there are legal specifications for what must be covered. Here is a detailed explanation of what the warranty will cover, and what it will not.

About New Home Warranties

In Ontario, the majority of new homes are given new home warranties. The main company that manages these new home warranties is Tarion. This company is dedicated to serving the public interest by “promoting fairness and building confidence in the new home buying experience.” Tarion offers information on one, two, and seven year warranties, as well as ensuring that the laws for new builds are followed, so the consumer is protected. Under the New Home Warranties Act of Ontario, the builder is required to guarantee to the purchaser that the home has been built by officially registered professionals and is free from defects in construction, is suitable for living, and it is built in accordance with the regulations of the Ontario Building Code. Under these regulations, there are certain defects that are covered under a new home warranty,and some that are not.
