Lot Offers and Awards

Overview

The department offers a variety of products to applicants based on their original waiting list application date. These offerings differ depending on the applicant’s position on the list, whether it’s residential, agricultural, or pastoral. Families receiving a residential offer must re-qualify for the price of the home. There is also a vacant lot product available for those who wish to build a custom home on the land, with the cost of the home varying based on the family’s needs.

When an offer letter is sent, applicants are required to submit an interest form and often a financial pre-qualification that matches or exceeds the cost of the offered home. Once these requirements are met, the applicant is invited to a lot selection meeting.
