First Time Buyers Program Opens the Door to Homeownership at Heathwood's Hampshire Mews

By Lucas on Feb 26, 2014

Since Heathwood Homes introduced their exclusive and unique “First Time Buyers Program,” owning a brand new home at Hampshire Mews is easier than ever before!

You can be "Home at Last®" for less at Heathwood’s new community of contemporary three-bedroom Urban Towns, just off of Yonge Street, right in the heart of Richmond Hill.

The new program is specifically tailored for qualified first-time buyers. Buy before February 28th and you can start with only 5% down. Heathwood will then contribute 20 per cent of the maximum RRSP amount you can contribute toward your down payment under the Federal Government’s Home Buyers Plan (HBP), which is equal to $5,000! In addition, Heathwood will match the Land Transfer Tax Rebate of $2,000 and provide two full years of FREE maintenance fees (up to a $3,000 value). That is $10,000 in savings!

They will even work with you to maximize your RRSP tax savings through the HBP, which can save you thousands more (to qualified buyers - see a sales representative for details).

“At Heathwood Homes we understand that homeownership is the dream of most Canadians,” says President Hugh Heron. “With this unique First Time Buyers Program, we’ll help them transform their dream into reality at Hampshire Mews. By entering the marketplace, they can experience the pride of owning their own home and build equity with their hard earned dollars. We’re very excited about introducing this offer.”

Bob Finnigan, COO Housing at The Heron Group of Companies, points out that the value at this community is enhanced by its environmental sustainability. “All 60 of the Urban Towns and Townhomes are not only Energy Star qualified, but are also being built to Heathwood Homes Green Home Energy Program standards too! These involve combining Energy Star® features with a wide range of additional green measures designed to lower utility bills, provide better air quality and make a real difference in keeping the planet healthy for generations to come,” he says.

All of this can be yours in a well-established, transit-friendly neighborhood, just steps from Yonge Street, and within walking distance to movie theatres, coffee shops and much more. Richmond Hill’s other amenities such as shopping, parks, schools, golf courses, hockey and aquatic recreation centres, York Central Hospital and the Centre for the Performing Arts, are also all nearby. With a bus stop right at Hampshire Mews, residents have convenient access to York Region transit, VIVA and GO Transit, plus Highways 404, 400 and 407 are minutes away. And of course, the beautiful Oak Ridges Moraine is just to the north. Within this urban context, Hampshire Mews is a maintenance-free oasis with a landscaped central amenity area where residents can relax.

Heathwood’s “Inspired Designs for Modern Living” offer beautiful space-maximizing layouts that can accommodate a range of homeowner needs. The brick-and-stone exterior features architectural details such as big bright windows, keystones and peaked gables. Each Urban Town also comes with Heathwood’s H.O.M.E. Program (Home Ownership Made Easy) package, which includes granite kitchen countertops, central air conditioning, five appliances and an upgraded stainless steel range hood.

The residences at Hampshire Mews range from 1,037 to 1475 sq. ft. and are priced from the mid $440’s – remarkable value for this coveted area. All purchasers who buy now will also receive professional moving services provided by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® ($1,500 value - see a sales representative for details).
