Let Us Know What You Thought Of The Episode
Thinking about pre-construction real estate investing? This episode of the Savvy Investor Podcast takes a closer look at the risks many investors are facing in today’s shifting market.
Host Michael Ponte, founder of Savvy Investor and long-time Canadian real estate investor, is joined by Brandon Hans and Graham Barr of Barr LLP to talk about what’s really happening with pre-construction deals right now. Investors who bought a few years ago expecting appreciation are now approaching closing and discovering lower appraisals, softer demand, and financing gaps that require more cash to complete the purchase.
Brandon and Graham share insights from the legal side of these deals, explaining what buyers are actually committing to when they sign a pre-construction contract and why walking away isn’t always as simple as losing a deposit.
In this episode:
- What you’re agreeing to in a pre-construction purchase agreement
- The pros and cons of pre-construction investing
- What happens when market conditions change before closing
- What investors must do if the property appraises below purchase price
If pre-construction investing in Canada has been on your radar, this episode highlights the realities every investor should understand before signing a deal.
