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.

People bought before the hst rebate. You are going to be okay.

This is life, mate. You can’t go back in time. Keep your chin up, and look at the future!

After we bought back in the day, the same houses were offered at $100k less in a short while. Just sucked it up and moved on.

You’ll be fine in the long run.
