Grasp the Real Estate Market

 To make informed decisions, grasp Canada's housing market. Research home prices in your desired areas, focusing on those within your budget. 

Requirements To Buy

 Welcome to Canada! Settling into this beautiful country offers a chance to establish roots through buying a home. Understanding the differences in regulations and laws is vital. Partnering with a knowledgeable real estate professional is key to finding your ideal home. Changes in property purchasing eligibility based on immigration status require staying updated via the Canadian Government Website.

Financing Your New Home

 Securing financing as a newcomer for a new home can pose challenges. Banks will require job verification, a deposit, and a Canadian credit check. Explore available options. Our agents can assist in your search. Establishing credit involves timely bill payments, a Canadian bank account and credit card, and stable employment. Banks provide guidance to establish your financial standing and offer pre-approval for mortgage amounts.

WHERE TO LOOK

Canada boasts vast and beautiful neighborhoods, making it overwhelming for newcomers to choose. Here's how to kick-start your search:

Work with a Real estate agent:

A local real estate agent familiar with the neighborhoods can offer insights and expertise on property values, community resources, and what to look for in your researched areas.

Online Research

Numerous online resources offer recommendations for living in Canada, providing ample information to guide your initial search. Focus on user-based sites for detailed insights into local amenities and services.

Embark On In-Person Exploration

Exploring various areas firsthand offers valuable insights. Walking or driving through neighborhoods gives a sense of living there. Engaging with locals and seeking advice from friends or family in Canada helps narrow down suitable neighborhoods for you and your family.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

Local social media groups discuss properties, market trends, and home buying tips. Connecting here pre-migration helps understand communities and potentially meet future neighbors. For finding the right neighborhood, here's what to consider:


Availability of Amenities

 In a new country, access to transit, schools, and groceries is crucial. If you have a car, ensure your home provides convenient transit options for work, grocery trips, and school drop-offs. For school-aged children, check the availability of school bus services when planning your move.

Rural Vs. Urban

 New immigrants often favor city centers due to job proximity and amenities. However, consider all options: suburbs suit families with transit access, while rural areas offer more land.

Community

Seeking community and belonging is vital when finding a new home, especially in a new country. Consider access to programs, shared values, and proximity to friends, family, or places of worship. Ready to find your home in Canada? Contact our sales professionals for details.

MAKE AN OFFER

The Buying Process

https://cesarhomes.ca/preconstruction

PREPARING FOR A PURCHASE

Buying a new home is an emotional rollercoaster. With affordability and the evolving real estate market, there's much to consider. Whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading, or an empty nester, our expert team is here to assist. Here's a concise 9-step guide to kickstart your home-buying journey! 

Choose A Real Estate Agent That is right for you

 
When searching for a home, having the right salesperson or broker to navigate you through this journey is crucial. 

Gaining Insight into Affordability and Managing Finances

Knowing and adhering to your budget is crucial! Homeownership brings various expenses beyond the mortgage. Prepare by understanding the overall costs, aligning them with your lifestyle, and accounting for potential life changes (like growing your family or downsizing).

Securing a Mortgage and Obtaining pre-approval

There are various ways to secure a mortgage: through a mortgage broker, a bank, or an online lender. Carefully explore these options to find the best fit for your needs. Once you've chosen, aim for pre-approval. It not only clarifies affordability but also speeds up the offer process, potentially giving you an advantage in closing the deal swiftly.

House Hunting

As you explore listings online or spot lawn signs in your desired areas, the excitement begins! Collaborate with your real estate agent to outline your "must-haves," preferred locations, and budget alignment. Early discussions are key because when you find a property you love, things move swiftly.

Tour Properties and Schedule Viewings

Open houses and showings have evolved significantly due to technological advancements and the pandemic. Access properties in-person or virtually based on your preference. In-person visits reveal the house's flow and details not easily seen online. Collaborate with your real estate agent to visit a few properties initially, guiding your search forward.

Submitting an Offer and Finalizing The Deal

When making an offer, your real estate agent assists in determining the right price within your budget. Avoid getting swept up in excitement, especially amidst competing bids. Decide on conditions like a home inspection, financial terms, and the closing period, typically 30-45 days but negotiable. After acceptance, your REALTOR® aids in finalizing the deal, while a real estate lawyer manages paperwork for title transfer, and a mortgage broker handles mortgage documentation.

Time to Move

Congrats on moving day! Stay organized by packing in labeled boxes by room. Pack a box for your first night with essentials. Keep fragile items last for easy access. Bundle and label wires to avoid losing them. Update your address with service providers and utilities. Forward your mail with Canada Post's service. Voila! You're now a proud homeowner!

Savor the Delights of Your New Home!

Congrats on your new home! In your first week, check appliances and note any property issues for your agent. Unpack gradually, room by room, to settle in comfortably and get to know your new space. Enjoy making it yours!
