Pre-Construction 101

Everything you need to know before signing your first Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

What is Pre-Construction?

Buying a property before it's built directly from the developer. You're purchasing a contract for a future home.

The 10-Day Cooling Off Period

In Ontario, you have 10 calendar days after signing to review the contract and cancel for any reason with a full refund.

Deposit Structure

Unlike resale (5-20% upfront), pre-con deposits are spread out over 2-4 years (e.g., 5% now, 5% in 180 days...).

Interim Occupancy

The period when you move in but don't own the unit yet. You pay a monthly fee to the builder until the building registers.
