Short answer: Primont is advertising Cornerstone with only a 5% deposit. On the $629,990 Liam, a three-bedroom freehold townhome with a double car garage, 5% comes to about $31,500. That is a lower entry point than most buyers expect for a freehold home in Brampton.
What 5% down looks like at Cornerstone
| Model | Home type | Starting price | 5% deposit (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liam | Double car garage town, 3 bed | $629,990 | $31,500 |
| Charlotte | Dual front town with in-law suite | $679,990 | $34,000 |
| Ethan Special | 2-storey town with finished basement, 5 bed | $779,990 | $39,000 |
| Joey | 33′ detached, 3 bed | $1,049,990 | $52,500 |
Prices are the builder’s grand opening prices dated September 29, 2026, Elevation C. Lot premiums may apply, and 5% figures are rounded. Primont has not published when the 5% is paid, so I send the current schedule with the price list.
A freehold townhome or a condo at the same price?
- In July 2026 the average GTA condo apartment sold for $636,323, according to TRREB. At Cornerstone, $629,990 is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath freehold townhome of 1,241 to 1,287 sq ft with a two-car garage.
- Condo apartments have been the weaker segment. TRREB’s apartment benchmark price fell 7.35% year over year in July 2026, against 4.6% for all home types.
- Freehold means you own the house and the land. Ask whether a common-element fee applies to your block before you sign.
- I can’t promise what any home will be worth later, and no one honestly can. What I can do is put the numbers side by side before you commit.
Why the timing matters
- HST rebate. Primont’s prices include the expanded HST rebate. Per Primont, the program covers purchases from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, with the full rebate on homes up to $1.5 million. Buyers must qualify. If you don’t, the rebate amount is usually charged on closing, so have your lawyer check this first.
- Grand opening savings. The Liam is $20,000 below its listed $649,990.
- Prices move. Grand opening prices and incentives can change without notice.
Who it suits
- Buyers who have saved a deposit and want a freehold home instead of a condo
- Families who need room for parents: the Charlotte has a ground-floor in-law suite
- Larger households: the Ethan Special comes with a finished basement and 5 bedrooms
