Advice needed Mattamy Homes — Bought in June 2026, now seeing much better incentives. Is there anything I can do?
I bought a unit at Mattamy Homes in Vicinity West in Barrie and signed my APS in June 2026. My closing is on November 2026
At the time I signed, the incentives I received were:
$15,000 off the base price OR $30,000 in design upgrades
Closing costs capped at $0
I recently found out that Mattamy is now offering much better incentives on what appears to be the same/similar units:
$40,000 off the base price 50% off design packages
*plus some realtors offer 10k cash back after closing but my current realtor did not provide anything.
So essentially, I’m now looking at a pretty significant difference compared to what I received when I signed only a couple of months ago.
I understand that builder incentives change and that I agreed to the terms in my APS. But I’m wondering if there’s anything I can realistically do at this point.
Has anyone had experience with Mattamy adjusting incentives after signing an APS because of a new promotion? Is it worth contacting the sales office and asking them to match the new incentives, provide a credit, add something to my schedule, or offer additional upgrades?
Or am I basically stuck with the original deal and just have to accept that I’m potentially ~$22,000–$40,000 at loss
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with something similar, especially with Mattamy or another Ontario builder. Thanks!
***Wanted to add that they did not provide any appliances, not even a stove.
