Most pricing confusion in this catalogue comes from records that span several home types with a single entry price. Springwater in Markham, by Mattamy Homes, is the opposite case — and it shows how much easier a record is to read when the shape is simple.
The record
- Homes: townhouses — the only home type on the record.
- Price: from $872,558 — after estimated rebate; eligibility applies. The figure is the published starting price of The Auburn plan, the lowest of the Phase 2 plans on Mattamy’s official community page, verified November 3, 2026.
- Basis:
after-rebate-enhanced. Mattamy states its prices include an estimated amount for the temporary Ontario enhanced new housing HST rebate; the actual amount varies by buyer and eligibility. The qualifier travels with the price everywhere this site prints it, because a rebate-adjusted starting price and a pre-rebate one are not the same number wearing different clothes.
Because the record carries a single home type, the starting price cannot be misread the way a multi-type record’s can — there is no second type for the figure to leak onto. It is still a plan price, not a promise about every townhouse in the phase: other plans price above the Auburn, and the record does not publish their figures, so this site does not print them.
What the record does not hold
Springwater arrived in the priced pool through the same November 3 verification pass that resolved three other band-text records — before that pass it carried a price band and no number. What the pass could not add, because the builder’s page does not publish it in captured form:
- No deposit structure. Nothing to total, nothing to schedule against. Of the catalogue’s 63 priced records, 58 carry a deposit structure; Springwater is one of the five that do not yet.
- No occupancy timing. The record holds no closing window, and none is estimated here.
- No structured floor plans, so no bed or size ranges — the record cannot yet feed any per-bed comparison.
Why publish a breakdown of a thin record?
Because this is what a verified price actually looks like when it lands: one number, tied to one named plan, on a stated basis, with a verification date — surrounded by gaps that are labelled instead of filled. A catalogue that prints the $872,558 and stays silent about the missing deposit schedule is more useful than one that rounds the record out with borrowed figures. When Mattamy publishes the schedule, the record gains it and this post’s gap list shrinks; until then, the gaps are part of the listing.
