•LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Buying Recently Built Homes
Learn the mechanics of purchasing property before it is finished. We cover strata details, builder warranties, and provincial tax rules.
The short answer
Begin your search for detached houses and townhomes in Quinsam Heights and Willow Point. If you want to live near the water, check out the multi-family developments taking shape downtown.
01Waterfront Options
Downtown Condos
Residential projects are changing the skyline along the water. You will find studios and multi-bedroom units with views of Discovery Passage. Developments around the Downtown neighbourhood put residents steps from the Discovery Fishing Pier.
These buildings suit buyers who want immediate access to the Sea Walk. The appeal is living right by the ocean without the upkeep of a detached house. Many of these units are sold as presales based on floor plans.
Buyers sign contracts before the foundation is poured. Several large buildings that started sales a few years ago are finishing up now, giving residents their first chance to move in.
Local tips
- Ask about completion dates, as large concrete projects often face delays.
- Review the strata fees to see exactly what maintenance they cover.
- Clarify your parking stall allocation and storage locker size before signing.
02Expanding Suburbs
Master-Planned Communities
Residential expansion is pushing into the surrounding suburbs. These areas contain a mix of single-family housing, custom lots, and townhomes. They focus on community layout with integrated parks and trail networks.
Subdivisions in Quinsam Heights and Willow Point are adding new phases. Further down the highway, Campbell River South has steady development activity. Campbellton is also seeing residential updates near the Quinsam River.
Families often choose these areas for the suburban atmosphere and trail access. Builders follow strict design guidelines to keep the streetscape cohesive. Buyers usually pick from a set list of pre-approved floor plans.
Local tips
- Drive through the subdivision at different times of day to gauge traffic.
- Ask the sales centre about future commercial zoning nearby.
- Inquire about the specific list of builders approved for the subdivision.
03Contract Basics
Purchasing Presales
Purchasing a presale means you are buying a property based on architectural plans. British Columbia heavily regulates this process. Once you sign the contract, you get a mandatory seven-day rescission period. You can cancel the deal during this week and get your deposit back.
Deposits usually total 10 to 20 percent of the final price. You pay this amount in installments over several months. By law, a lawyer or real estate brokerage must hold these funds in a trust account. Developers must also give you a Disclosure Statement detailing all facts about the building.
Sometimes buyers sell their contract to someone else before the building is done. This is called an assignment sale. You can only do this if the original developer allows it in the contract. Keep in mind that completion dates are estimates and supply chain issues can cause delays.
Local tips
- Have a notary public read the Disclosure Statement during your seven-day rescission period.
- Map out your deposit payment schedule so you have cash ready on time.
- Check the developer policy on assignments in case you need to back out later.
04Tax Rules
Government Levies
British Columbia charges a five percent Goods and Services Tax on newly built housing. You do not pay this tax on used residential properties. The amount is due at completion when the property title officially transfers to your name.
The federal government has a GST New Housing Rebate for principal residences. You can get a partial rebate for properties priced up to $450,000. A separate First-Time Home Buyers GST Rebate gives a full rebate on houses up to $1 million and a partial one up to $1.5 million.
You also need to budget for the provincial Property Transfer Tax. Newly built properties have a specific exemption for this tax. You pay no transfer tax on qualifying residences with a fair market value up to $1,100,000, and a reduced amount up to $1,150,000.
Local tips
- Check the marketing materials to see if the asking price includes GST.
- Run your numbers through an online calculator to estimate your exact tax bill.
- Your legal representative will handle the actual tax payments on closing day.
05Mandatory Insurance
Warranty Coverage
Almost every newly constructed residence in British Columbia comes with third-party warranty insurance. People call this the 2-5-10 warranty because it splits coverage into three timeframes. The policy stays with the building and transfers to the next owner if you sell early.
The first two years cover defects in materials and labour. This includes your flooring, trim, and fixtures. It also protects the distribution systems for your plumbing, electrical, and heating for 24 months.
The five-year mark covers the building envelope. This protects against unintended water leaks, which is vital in a coastal climate. The final ten-year period covers major structural components like the foundation and wood framing.
Local tips
- Write down any cosmetic issues during your final walkthrough to create your first builder report.
- Take dated photos of any mechanical problems that pop up after you move in.
- Submit your claims well before the specific coverage periods expire.
06Hiring Professionals
Selecting a Builder
Picking the right construction company is a massive decision. Look up crews who are active in the specific subdivisions you like. Read their past client reviews and walk past their previous projects. A solid local reputation usually indicates reliable work.
Provincial law requires all residential construction companies to hold a license with BC Housing. They must also secure the mandatory 2-5-10 warranty. Always ask to see their license number and proof of liability insurance. A legitimate contractor will hand these over immediately.
The Canadian Home Builders Association acts as the main professional organization for the industry. The Vancouver Island chapter maintains a directory of local contractors and designers. Hiring a member often means they follow strict professional standards.
Local tips
- Call previous clients and ask how the contractor handled delays or mistakes.
- Get every single detail and material choice in writing before paying a deposit.
- Pick a project manager who communicates clearly, since you will talk to them weekly.

•FAQ
Good to know
Expect to pay 10 to 20 percent of the total price. Developers break this down into installments. You might pay five percent when signing, another five percent a few months later, and the rest right before completion.
