Tarion Talks, Episode 12: How to Shop for a New Home

Buying a home is an exciting adventure – it’s one of the biggest purchases most of us will make in our lifetime.

However, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when buying a pre-construction house or condominium. So one of the best ways to get organized and feel more confident is by getting as much information as you can.

This episode of Tarion Talks is all about getting that information – what questions should you ask? What are the tools at your disposal, even before you’ve reached the purchase stage? To find out, our host Tammy Frade is joined by two guests from Tarion: Angelica Cruz, from the Stakeholder Relations team, and Adrian Brown from the Customer Service team.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

The differences between buying a new home and buying a resale home; How to use Tarion’s Ontario Builder Directory, a tool for researching new home builders; Other methods – both online and offline – that new home shoppers can use to research a builder; MyHome Planner – Tarion’s app designed specifically for new home hunters – and the different ways it can help you in your search.
