FAQ
What is a presale?
A presale is when a developer offers condos to the market in some cases before construction of the building has started. When you purchase a presale, you are paying for a future home.
- You only need to pay a deposit.
- You will still pay the full price, but you don’t need to take out a home loan on the property right away.
- The deposit will range from 5 to 10% of the purchase price, and further 10 to 15% increments throughout the building project.
- Your deposit is held in a trust account until the building is completed.
- If for any reason the developer does not finish the building, the full amount will be returned to you.
