For households with the EC option

Eligible for an executive condo? That door doesn't stay open forever.

Once your income or your home changes, EC eligibility can quietly go away. Which makes right now the moment to compare all three doors properly, not just the loudest one.

First, a deep breath

An EC is a genuine head start. It's still not automatically your best door.

Executive condos are sold new at a discount to private condos because of who can buy them and the rules that come attached. For many families that discount is real money. But here's what the launch ads skip: by the time you add up your grant, your timeline and what resale condos nearby are actually going for, the gap is sometimes smaller than it looks. Sometimes it's bigger. The only way to know is to compare all three doors with your own numbers.

The three doors

What each one really gives you, and really asks of you

DOOR 1

The new EC

Brand new, priced below comparable private launches, and grants may help. In exchange: eligibility rules, a wait for keys, and a minimum stay before you can sell (the MOP, five years).

Best when you qualify comfortably, can wait for completion, and plan to stay put well past the minimum.

DOOR 2

The resale condo

Keys now, no eligibility rules, and you can see exactly what you're buying, including the view and the neighbours. In exchange: an older building, and no new-home discount.

Best when your timeline is short, you value certainty, or the nearby resale market is quietly well priced.

DOOR 3

The suburban new launch

Private from day one, no EC rules, newest layouts. In exchange: usually the highest price of the three for the same area, and the same wait for keys.

Best when you don't qualify for the EC, or freedom to sell on your own schedule matters more than the discount.

The eligibility rules have a few moving parts and they change from time to time, so we check them with you in the comparison rather than printing figures here that could go stale.

Straight talk

Before you fall in love with the discount

•The EC discount is payment for rules. The wait, the minimum stay, the eligibility hoops. If the rules fit your life anyway, the discount is nearly free money. If they don't, it isn't.
•Queues are not evidence. A crowded launch weekend proves marketing worked, not that the price is right. Your comparison should be done before you join any queue.
•Sometimes the answer is door two, quietly. In some neighbourhoods, an older resale condo is close enough in price that keys-today beats years of waiting. When that's true for you, we'll say it plainly.

A note from us

"The families who choose well all ask the same unglamorous question first: not 'which is the best deal', but 'which rules can we actually live with for the next seven years?'"

Deals age. Rules don't. A discount feels wonderful on booking day and invisible by the second school run. The rules you signed up for, you live with every year. Tell us about your household and we'll put the three doors side by side, rules and all.

Good questions

The ones families ask us most

How do I know if we're eligible for an EC? +

The rules cover income, citizenship, your current and past homes, and your family setup. Several have exceptions people miss, in both directions. That's why we check them with you personally instead of printing a checklist that might be out of date.

Is an EC really cheaper than a condo? +

At launch, usually yes, that's the design. Whether it's cheaper than the resale condos already standing near it is a different question, and the honest answer changes by neighbourhood. That's the gap your comparison measures.

What's the catch with the minimum stay? +

You can't sell for five years after moving in, and full freedom comes later still. For a family planning to settle, that's no cost at all. For a family whose plans might change, it's the biggest number on the page.

What if the comparison says we should just stay put? +

Then that's what we'll tell you. A family comfortable in their flat, saving well, is not a problem to be fixed. The doors will still be there when the timing is right.

Does this cost anything? +

No, and there's no obligation. If a door looks right and you want help walking through it, we're here.
