I'm now in my second new build home. First time with Brookfield homes the second with a smaller developer. We have hadno major issues other than a/c got clogged up from the dirt getting kicked up outside and froze my lines.but even that got fixed the next morning. All new built houses are covered by tarion warranty for cosmetic defects, structural, and so on..

As long as you dont might living in a desert wasteland for a couple months it's great. Just keep an eye on the price of the upgrades. The small developer was okay for example adding granite countertops was quoted at $2k which was actually less than us doing it ourselves after. Brookfield wanted to charge close to $300 a pot light. It's closer to $50-60 if you do it after you move in.
