Thismarket.didn’tmean, that Buyers over the last several years didn’t need to procure a mortgage before closing. In fact, very few Buyers were paying cash when borrowing money was so cheap. This also does not mean that Buyers weren’t concerned that the home they were purchasing would be in perfect shape. They just knew that if they put any conditions in their offer, even a 3 day condition for Financing Approval or Home Inspection, their offer would get rejected in favour of a firm offer.
Sellers in Waterloo region were rather spoiled over the last 7-8 years, as the market was moving fast enough that most Buyers had the confidence to purchase their next house before selling their current house.
There is usually a second component to the Sale of Buyer’s Property condition, and it’s called the Escape Clause, which gives the seller opportunity to continue marketing their home and if another offer comes in that is acceptable to the Sellers, the Buyer would have a certain number of hours, typically 24, 48 or 72, to decide whether or not they are willing to waive their condition(s) and proceed with their offer.
28 HOMES + ADVICE
Of course, every Buyer’s and every Seller’s situation is different, but generally speaking, we are beginning to see a lot more offers accepted conditional on the Sale of the Buyer’s Property. Keep in mind, that whenever several Buyers and Sellers all have conditional offers, it can become very complicated and can cause a major domino effect if not everyone can get their homes sold in time and closed as planned.
If you have ever attended a public Open House for a listed property and
The first part of this year was in keeping with the last number of years, but things have changed drastically since the end April of 2022.
Thankfully, for everyone, people who are buying and selling right now have a much more reasonable outlook
At this point, with the days on market nearly triple what it was a year ago and likely to increase more in the fall as more listings hit the market. It is wise for Buyers who haven’t already sold their current home to include a “Sale of Buyer’s Property Condition” in their offer, and Sellers are becoming more open to receiving such offers.
In the last few years, nearly all listings were sold firm (also known as “unconditional”) a week or so after hitting the
on the entire transaction, and I am finding that both Buyers and Sellers are proceeding with more caution and Realtors are doing a much better job of working together to negotiate a fair deal for everyone.
How Does A “Sale of Buyer’s Property” Condition Work?
Julie D. Martin Real Estate Broker
The typical Sale of Buyer’s Property condition makes the offer conditional upon the Buyer being able to get their house sold within a certain period of time, usually 4-6 weeks.
The overheated Fall of 2021 towards the end of March of 2022 brought huge monthly increases in value, but the market has cooled since then and our property values are dialed back to the values we had a year ago. Not only have we experienced a change in the property values, but also the type of offers that we are seeing.
Offer), or if they feel like it’s too great a risk for them to proceed (i.e., their house is not yet sold and they have no serious prospects), they may choose to walk away from the deal, in which case, the second offer moves forward.
and up to 2-3 months, depending on the type of property the Buyer needs to sell and how slow the market is. A motivated Seller usually wants their Agent to continue marketing the home for sale and will cooperate with as many Showings and Open Houses as it takes to get their property
Being able to close on your purchase because your house isn’t sold, is more stressful, so is selling your house first. Keeping a level head and trying to put yourself in the shoes of the other party usually makes for a much smoother and less stressful transaction.
you found out that the property is conditionally sold, it was likely sold conditional on the Sale of the Buyer’s property. Most other conditions, such as Financing or Inspection, are usually quite short (about 3-7 days), so the Seller usually decides to just wait out that time period trusting that the Buyer will fulfill their conditions. Sale of Buyer’s Property Condition is usually between several weeks
a second Offer come in after the Seller already accepted an Offer conditional on the Sale of Buyer’s Property (and containing also an Escape Clause), and the Seller decides to accept this second Offer, the first Buyer is given notice of the acceptance of the second offer, and needs to decide whether or not to proceed or walk away. In such a case, the first Buyer, would either waive the condition to sell their house (and they would have a certain number of hours to make that decision, usually 24, 48 or 72 hours, whatever was negotiated in their
Shouldsold.
It’s stressful for Sellers who accept an offer containing a Sale of Buyer’s Property condition, it’s stressful for Buyers who include such a condition, and it can also be stressful for both agents involved. So you may ask “If it’s so stressful, why do people include such a condition?”

“ Go with Those Who Know”
Karen enjoys helping those who’ve contributed to her success over the last 30 years saying, “it’s pretty rewarding to be able to help those I’ve served before or when they pass my name along to a friend or loved one. When you do an excellent job people will tell their friends and family members and for me, there is no better compliment!”
constant throughout her real estate career is her commitment to clients and offering an elevated level of quality service to them. She says with conviction “people really don’t care what you know - until they know that you care!” Over the years many people have asked her, what’s the secret to having a successful career to which she replies, “honesty is always the best policy”. In addition to being a real estate Broker, Karen has also offered condominium property management services, since 2005. Several years ago, Karen obtained certifcation to become a licensed condominium Property Manager and holds OLCM (Ontario Licensed Condominium Manager) designation. This has been a huge asset to her real estate career as she is well versed and deeply knowledgeable when it comes to understanding condominium living. In 2019, Karen started working with a local new home builder, Carriageview Construction, to sell his custom-built homes in the Brantford area. She frst met the builder, Domenic Zavarella (Sr) in 1989 when he built a custom home for her. At that time, Karen wasn’t a realtor and had purchased the home through the builder’s wife, Kelli. Eventually, they worked together at Re/Max and their friendship fourished. Unfortunately, due to the loss of Kelli, Karen and Domenic formed their business relationship. “I am so proud to represent who I believe is the best builder in the city”, says Karen, and “I’m grateful every single day for the opportunity that he presented to me 3 years ago”.

aren has been a successful Realtor since starting in the business in 1992. Prior to her real estate career she was a sales representative for a local paper selling print advertising. It was during this time that she met many real estate professionals, including Broker/Owners who consistently encouraged her to obtain her real estate license. Karen has very fond memories of some key infuential people, like Ed Doucet Sr., John Pignotta & Bill Karmiris whose reassurance and constant words of encouragement is what motivated her to fnally make a career change and obtain her real estate license. “I want those gentlemen to know how much their confdence in my sales abilities is what swayed me to leave a guaranteed, salaried job, and take the risk of becoming a self-employed individual in an extremely competitive, commission-based industry. I knew that the outcome of my success would be refective of the work I put in. It was a huge risk for me as I’d purchased my frst home when I was 24, was single, and I had a mortgage to pay.”
So, Karen started her real estate career with Re/Max in Brantford and she just marked her 30th year in the industry and is still working under the Re/Max umbrella. “I’m a true believer in the Re/Max name and what it stands for in the industry! Wherever I go the Re/Max name is always recognized and well respected by the general public”, mentions Karen. Karen has experienced different shifts in the real estate market and has changed her working strategies and methods through the upward and downward trends.

Paint is a big investment and when you choose to go with a painting company that has been around for more than a few years, you know they will do the job on time and on budget.
WILL THEY PROVIDE REFERENCES? It’s always good to ask for references. When you have a chance, ask other homeowners about their experiences with the company and make sure to check their Google reviews!
Since 1968
IS THE COMPANY INSURED AND WILL THEY PROVIDE A WARRANTY? If you hire a company that is insured and offers a warranty on the work they do, you know that they will look after any issues that may arise.

Painting your walls can be a hassle and time consuming. If you want the job done right, hire a professional contractor to do it for you. Whether you choose a full colour change or just touch up, here are some important questions to ask any potential painter so that your home looks its best.
PAINT BRANDS THEY USE? Professional painters who have a well-known name always use the best paint brands as they are serious about quality.
DOES THE PAINTING COMPANY USE SUBCONTRACTORS? Subs are becoming more and more popular. If they hire a sub, ask the company whether their business insurance covers any potential damage to your home.
Questions you need to ask before HIRING A PAINTING CONTRACTOR

HOMES + INSIGHT
DO THEY HAVE A PORTFOLIO OF PREVIOUS PROJECTS? Any reputable painting company in your area will offer you a portfolio of their work with pictures of past projects. Many also post their on their websites.
HOW MUCH WALL PREP WILL THE COMPANY INCLUDE IN THEIR ESTIMATE? Keep in mind that when a company does not take the time to properly prep your walls this can eventually lead to peeling and cracking and a rapid deterioration of the wall surface.
HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN BUSINESS?

If you’re going from two incomes to one, you need to have a good handle on what you can afford. Work the numbers by looking at your income sources. Consider all your current and anticipated expenses - especially when it comes to a home. Remember, you will now have to cover all utilities, taxes, maintenance and repairs, along with food, clothing and other essentials. Be realistic and don’t stretch yourself too thin.
I often talk about the importance of having a Separation Agreement in place before you sell your marital home. It is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party regarding the division of assets, fnancial support, childcare, and anything else that is affected by the separation. You can’t get a new mortgage without one.
By treating it like a business transaction, you are automatically focused on maximizing your return - enabling you to move forward on the best fnancial footing possible.

Finally, I know how hard it is to let go of your family home, especially when there are children involved. Let go of the guilt and treat the sale like a business transaction. It’s just bricks and mortar. If you let your guilt take over, you risk compromising the sale and getting less than you deserve.

When you’re ready to make a fresh start and move forward with your life, putting the past behind you is essential for moving forward. You don’t want to let the past impact your ability to get on with your life. And if buying a home is part of your plan, you need to prepare early.

If you’ve never owned property before your marriage, have never had a credit card in your name...in other words, you lack credit, you will need to establish some. You need a credit score to get a mortgage. Apply for a credit card or even your own mobile phone account. Don’t apply for too many things at once as that could negatively affect your credit score since it might be a sign you are taking on too much debt. Start slow.
