Frequently Asked Questions
A buyer’s market happens when there are more homes for sale than buyers, leading to lower prices and more negotiating power for buyers. A seller’s market occurs when there are more buyers than available homes, causing higher prices and quicker sales.
The minimum down payment depends on the price of the home and your financing option:
In Canada: 5% for homes under $500,000, 10% for the portion above $500,000, and 20% for homes $1M+ or investment properties.
A 20% down payment lets you avoid mortgage default insurance (CMHC insurance).
Closing costs typically range from 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price and include:
Land transfer tax
Legal fees
Home inspection/appraisal fees
Title insurance
Mortgage-related costs (if applicable)
A home’s value is based on several factors, including:
Recent comparable sales (comps) in your area
Market trends (buyer’s vs. seller’s market)
Home condition, upgrades, and curb appeal
Professional home appraisals & evaluations

It depends on your financial situation and risk tolerance:
Sell first: Ensures you have funds for your next home but may require temporary housing.
Buy first: Offers flexibility but may lead to financial strain if your current home doesn’t sell quickly.
A bridge loan can help cover costs if you buy before selling.
Real estate agents typically earn a commission based on the final sale price of the home. The seller usually pays the total commission, which is split between the buyer’s agent and seller’s agent.
