Homeownership can feel out of reach for a lot of families right now, especially with rising costs across the Greater Toronto Area. That’s exactly why we like to keep an eye on programs like Habitat for Humanity GTA’s affordable ownership opportunities. They offer real, attainable paths to owning a home for households who qualify, with $0 or low down payment options and income-geared monthly payments.
Here’s what’s currently open or under construction across the GTA:
VuPoint Condos, Pickering. Right here in Durham Region, steps from Pickering GO Station, Pickering Town Centre, and the waterfront. Modern 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom + den, and 3-bedroom units, $0 down payment, and income-geared monthly costs. Eligible household income range: $90,000 to $125,000, for 2 to 4 person households. Applications are open now.
Countryside, Brampton. Under construction, with over half the homes already matched to families. Modern 3- and 4-bedroom townhomes, $0 down payment. Household income $93,000+, for 3 to 5 person households who live or work in Brampton.
PACE Condos, Toronto. Two units still available in the heart of downtown, steps from the Eaton Centre, TMU, and TTC. 1- and 2-bedroom units, no down payment required. Household income ranges from $86,000 to $130,000 depending on unit.
Coxwell, Toronto. Newly built 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom homes in Toronto’s east end, part of Habitat GTA’s Attainable Ownership Program. Requires a minimum $5,000 down payment and 150 volunteer hours as part of the program. Household income $115,000 to $146,800.
160 Canon Jackson Drive, Keelesdale, Toronto. A rare accessible ownership opportunity: a spacious, move-in ready 3-bedroom condo in a growing Toronto community close to transit, schools, and parks.
If you or someone you know might qualify, Habitat GTA handles applications and eligibility directly. If you’re weighing whether a program like this makes sense for your situation versus buying on the open market, that’s exactly the kind of conversation we’re happy to have.
Thinking about buying or selling in Durham Region? I’d love to help. Reach out anytime.
