London New Homes › New Homes Under $500K
Updated for 2026 · London, Ontario
Two communities qualify, and both are townhomes. Here is what they cost, what you get, and the costs that never appear on the price list.
Two new construction communities in London, Ontario are priced under $500,000, both in Summerside:
STAX Stacked Townhomes — from $377,184. Three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1,586–1,771 sq. ft.
Element Towns — from $429,000. Move-in ready, three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 1,734–1,789 sq. ft., attached single-car garage.
Both are townhomes. New detached homes in London are not currently available under $500,000. Pricing changes without notice — ask for the current list.
| Community | From | Size | Layout | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STAX Stacked Townhomes Summerside, east London |
$377,184 | 1,586–1,771 sq. ft. | 3 bed · 2.5 bath | Registering now |
| Element Towns 1870 Evans Blvd, Summerside |
$429,000 | 1,734–1,789 sq. ft. | 3 bed · 3.5 bath · garage | Move-in ready |
It buys a three-bedroom new-build townhome between roughly 1,580 and 1,790 square feet. Not a starter unit, not a one-bedroom — a full family-sized home with room for a home office, in a neighbourhood where the schools and retail were built alongside the housing.
What it doesn't buy today is a new detached home in London. Both options under $500,000 are townhomes, and both are in Summerside. Anyone advertising a new detached build in the city at this price is quoting something that no longer exists or hasn't disclosed the full cost.
Two homes with the same sticker can cost very different amounts to own. Before you compare, get all of these:
The wall for most buyers under $500,000 isn't qualifying for the mortgage — it's the deposit schedule. New construction typically asks for staged deposits over several months rather than one payment at closing, and that cash is committed well before you get keys.
Move-in-ready homes work differently from pre-construction here, and the difference is significant if your down payment is still assembling. Ask for the deposit schedule in writing at the same time you ask for the price list. We send both together.
Both options exist at this price point in London, and they suit different situations.
Move-in ready (Element Towns) means the home is finished and inspected. You see exactly what you're buying, you close on a known timeline, and there's no risk of a closing date sliding two years to the right. You give up finish selection.
Pre-construction (STAX) means a lower entry price and the ability to choose finishes, in exchange for waiting and accepting that occupancy dates move. If you're renting month-to-month and flexible, that trade can be worth roughly $52,000.
Search portals will show you hundreds of London listings under $500,000. Almost all of them are resale. Filter to genuinely new construction, in the city, actually available, and the list collapses to what's on this page.
That's not a limitation of our research — it's the market. Knowing the real list is two communities is more useful than scrolling four hundred results that mostly aren't what you asked for.
On new construction the builder pays the buyer representative's commission. Having someone on your side doesn't raise your purchase price — but you must name them on your first visit or registration. Register on your own and it's usually too late.
We'll send you the full price lists, deposit structures and what's genuinely still available for both communities. No cost, and no obligation to use us.
Common Questions
Yes — two communities, both in Summerside:
STAX Stacked Townhomes from $377,184. Three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1,586–1,771 sq. ft.
Element Towns from $429,000. Move-in ready, three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 1,734–1,789 sq. ft., attached garage.
Both are townhomes. New detached homes in London aren't available under $500,000 today.
STAX Stacked Townhomes at $377,184 is the lowest-priced new construction home selling in London right now. Three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1,586–1,771 sq. ft. in Summerside.
Worth saying plainly: an entry price usually applies to a handful of units and moves without notice. Ask for the live list before planning around it.
No. New detached homes in London aren't available under $500,000 today. Everything new below that price in the city is a townhome.
Detached new builds under $500,000 do still exist in smaller communities outside London. If detached is non-negotiable and $500,000 is firm, that's the trade — and it's worth talking through before you spend months looking for something that isn't there.
Several, and they change what a home actually costs you:
Development charges — municipal levies, sometimes five figures, sometimes waived as an incentive. Get any waiver in the agreement.
HST — advertised prices usually include it net of the rebate for people who'll live in the home. Investors are treated differently.
Common element fee — monthly and permanent on condominium townhomes.
Deposits — staged over months, committed long before you get keys.
Property taxes and closing adjustments — new builds carry line items resale doesn't.
Different trades, and it depends on your situation more than on the market.
New gets you a Tarion warranty, current code, nothing to fix on day one, and no bidding war. It costs more per square foot and carries development charges, HST handling and staged deposits.
Resale at the same price usually buys more space, or gets you detached — but you may inherit a roof, a furnace and a repair backlog.
If you'd have to borrow to fix a resale home in year one, the gap narrows fast.
It varies by builder, and the schedule matters as much as the total. New construction usually wants staged deposits over several months rather than one payment at closing.
For most buyers under $500,000 this is the real constraint — not mortgage qualification. That cash is committed long before you get keys. Ask for the deposit schedule at the same time as the price list; we send both together.
