Buying a home is all about making decisions. These decisions can be exciting, but they can also be tough – especially when it comes to deciding between an older home or a newer one. The warranty coverage provided by your builder (and backstopped by Tarion) is just one of the benefits of choosing a new house or condominium. To find out some of the other advantages, we asked some of the members of the Tarion staff to weigh in.

One of the biggest advantages for choosing to buy a newly built house or condo is the new home warranty, which lasts for a total of seven years and provides up to $300,000 in coverage.

Buying new means that your home is built by a licensed builder and covered by a comprehensive set of warranties.

Modern techniques and technology are bringing new advancements to homes that result in efficiency, comfort, and durability.

Buying new comes with the comfort of knowing that you’re protected against emergency situations that are within your builder’s control.

A new home gives you the freedom to make it your very own by customizing the finishings to your tastes, and the reassurance that the selections you make are protected.

A new home comes with seven years of coverage against excessive levels of radon, an invisible and odourless gas that can be harmful to your health.

Newly built condominiums not only come with individual unit warranties, but also warranties on shared areas like pools, gyms, and lounges.
