When you buy a pre-construction condo, the price you agree to today isn't necessarily the value a lender will use when it's time to close.

Before funding the mortgage, the lender may require an appraisal based on the property's current market value. If the condo is appraised below your original purchase price, the lender may base financing on that lower value.
That can leave you responsible for covering a larger-than-expected gap with your own funds.

This is especially worth watching in markets where condo values have softened since some presale contracts were signed.

Buying pre-construction? Connect with a Mortgage Connection mortgage broker early so you can understand your financing options and be better prepared for closing day.

Canadian lenders operate under portfolio limits on newly originated uninsured mortgages exceeding 4.5 times a borrower's qualifying income.

This isn't a hard limit applied to every borrower. Instead, it limits how many highly leveraged mortgages federally regulated lenders can hold within their portfolios. That means lender selection can make a difference when it comes to your mortgage options.

Not sure how these lending rules could affect your buying power? Connect with a Mortgage Connection mortgage broker to explore your options.

A mortgage pre-approval helps establish your budget, but it doesn’t guarantee that every property you choose will qualify.

Before final approval, the lender still needs to review the property and confirm your financial information. The appraisal, property condition, location, condo documents, and property type can all affect financing.

That’s why it’s important to keep your mortgage broker involved before removing financing conditions.

Found the right home? Connect with Mortgage Connection before making the next move. We’ll help you navigate the financing from pre-approval to closing.
