Common questions.
Should I buy first or sell first?
Depends on market, risk tolerance, financing, and closing-date flexibility. We model both paths against your specific numbers before you decide.
What is bridge financing?
Short-term lender financing (typically 30–120 days) that lets you close on the new home before the sale of the old funds. Requires a firm sale of your current home. Not all lenders offer it.
What happens if my home doesn’t sell in time?
If you bought first, this is the scenario we plan around. Options: bridge financing extension, rental fallback, pricing adjustment. We pre-model all three.
Can I write a conditional offer in this market?
Depends. some sellers accept conditional offers (sale of property), some don’t. We pressure-test which sellers in your shortlist are open to it.
What deposit do I need?
Typically 5% of purchase price for a firm Ontario offer. Higher for some bid scenarios. We coordinate certified cheque or wire timing.
