Why STARTSMART is Valuable to Homeowners?
- Reduces Financial Strain in Year One
The first year of homeownership is often the most financially overwhelming — with closing costs, moving expenses, furnishings, and surprise repairs. STARTSMART eases that burden by covering major recurring costs (property taxes, utilities, and rentals), giving homeowners much-needed breathing room.
- Creates a Smoother Transition
Moving into a new home is exciting but also stressful. STARTSMART lets homeowners focus on settling in, getting comfortable, and learning the ropes of homeownership without the pressure of mounting monthly bills.
- Builds Long-Term Stability
By covering essential expenses for a year, homeowners can establish financial stability and create a foundation for managing future home costs — a smart first step toward sustainable ownership.
- Improves Confidence and Satisfaction
New homeowners often experience buyer’s remorse or stress due to unforeseen costs. STARTSMART builds confidence and peace of mind, leading to a more positive and secure start to their journey.
- Encourages Informed, Empowered Ownership
With fewer immediate expenses to worry about, homeowners can take time to learn about their home, utilities, maintenance, and budgeting — rather than reacting to financial pressure.
How does the incentive work?
Foxwood has estimated your average first-year costs for: Property taxes, electricity, water, natural gas, and Hot water heater rental. These estimated amounts will be credited directly to your utility accounts within 30 days of moving in. Please note, in the City of London, London electricity collects payments for both electricity & water; the credit applied will encompass this. Account information must be provided for direction of credits within the 15 days following their closing date to qualify.
Are there any transaction fees or hidden costs?
No. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs associated with this program. Just clear support to help you get started with confidence. Excludes security deposits, or deposits potentially required by the providers with exception to those detailed.
What happens if I use a lot of electricity or my home is assessed with higher property taxes?
In order to create an inclusive incentive, the value of the credits are a one-time credit based on estimated consumptions, area comps. Should a home exceed the estimated values/credit within the first year, the homeowner will be responsible for paying the difference of the balance owing. Homeowner is responsible for all payments, a single credit is applied to the account provided, once this credit is used up, the homeowner will assume costs beyond.
