What is a Presale Condo?

 

It is buying the right to purchase a brand new home in a new development. The purchaser pays the deposit and is obligated to purchase the home when it does complete (is built). Deposits can range from 5-10% initially, and then another 10- 15% through the construction process, depending on the development. However you will not have to secure the mortgage until after the property has been completed. This money is held in the developers trust account until completion, they will not have access to the funds before it.

 

Why Would You Buy A Presale Condo?


1. Buying early in the Development means you will purchase before the prices rise as they tend to do. This can allow you to leverage your investment. Possibly to assign the contract to another purchaser for a significant profit, or use the equity to decrease your down payment with the “assumed equity.”

 

2. Customize your new home before it is built, it may be easier to do while it is being constructed.

 

3. New condos built by a reputable developer, will have the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty. Since the entire building is under warranty, there won’t be any serious structural costs for many years. This is some great risk mitigation.


4. Maintenance fees will likely remain quite low as compared to many older building who have needed some work done to them.


5. New homes are coveted by potential tenants and will garner a much higher rent from these prospective tenants, which is a great reason for investors to buy Presale Condos.


There are many great reasons to purchase a presale condo, I would be delighted to speak to if you have any questions on a particular presale or the process of purchasing a presale condo. Sign up to become a VIP Presales Member.

Some relief coming to  1st time homebuyers

The government has announced, effective February 19, 2014, under the Property Transfer Tax (PTT) First-Time Home Buyers’ Exemption program, qualifying first-time buyers can buy a home worth up to $475,000. The previous threshold was $425,000.

The partial exemption continues and will apply to homes valued between $475,000 and $500,000.

With this change, the government estimates 1,700 additional first-time buyers will annually be eligible to save up to $7,500 in PTT when they buy their home.

The government estimates this measure will cost $8 million in lost tax revenue each year.

The Real Estate Board, together with BC Real Estate Association, has actively lobbied to make home ownership more affordable for first-time home buyers. This increase in the threshold clearly signals our efforts have paid off as in past years.

In 2008, as a result of industry lobbying, the provincial government increased the threshold to $425,000 from $375,000. 

In 2005, the government increased the threshold to $325,000 from $275,000.

The PTT is calculated at a rate of one per cent on the first $200,000 and two per cent on the remaining value of the purchase price. 


With the cost of real estate in Vancouver and many areas of BC being so expensive, these are babysteps. However, any increase is of great help to 1st-time homebuyers, at least in this price point $475,000 and lower.
