The last year and a half have been an emotional roller coaster for engaged couple Joe Jennison and Alicia Murrell.
Looking to buy their first home, the couple sought a new build in Guelph, Ont. but were unsuccessful in two lotteries by developer Fusion Homes.
“We tried when they released a detached and we didn't get, then we tried to do their semi-detached, we didn't get that,” Murrell said. “We finally got their townhome and we were like pretty excited about that.”
The couple says closing on their first home, in the “Sora at The Glade” development, was a major life moment.
“So we went: ‘That's it, we made it. We got our house.’ We were super excited,” Jennison said.
The couple says their relationship with Fusion Homes quickly started to sour not long after closing.
“It was probably a few months later they started releasing incentives because they weren't selling their homes,” Murrell said.
