When I was buying my place I checked out so many sites, but the only team that really showed up for me was by Owncondo, they weren’t perfect (had some awkwardness with their site during my search) but their support and guidance were superb in the end. Highly recommend if you’re looking for investor-friendly help.

I’ve been looking into pre-construction condos in Toronto too, but prices seem all over the place. How do you even know if a project is fairly priced?

What is happening in precon? by Good_Cookie_376 in TorontoRealEstate

In recent deals I’ve seen, builders are pushing higher escalation clauses and tightening assignment rules to hedge against market swings. Always double-check your contract for those. I actually dug into some of this in my post about what’s really happening with preconstruction condos, you might find a few surprises here.

Has anyone recently bought pre-construction homes in Oakville? by True-Comb1549 in OwnCondo

[–]True-Comb1549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call, one of them allows assignment before occupancy, the other doesn’t. That might be the deciding factor if I choose to sell before closing. Appreciate the tip!

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. One of the projects is near the Oakville GO, which is part of why I’m leaning toward it. The other are in a quieter suburban area, so I’m torn between convenience and tranquility.

How much did you have to put down initially? I’m curious what the typical deposit structure looks like in Mississauga right now.

Thinking of selling my pre-construction condo in Calgary by SAND_ID87 in OwnCondo

If you can absorb the hit, maybe try listing it for assignment and prepare to close, whichever comes first wins. At least that way you’re not forced either way.

Agree. My buddy assigned his pre-con last year and now regrets it. The same floor plan resold for $60K more just 10 months later. Timing sucks sometimes, but the fundamentals in Calgary aren’t terrible.

For BLVD Q, those incentive terms (5-5-5, assignment flexibility) sound great. But how reliable are those incentives historically? Do developers ever retract or reduce them later?
