If you buy a home for $1 million on a thirty-year mortgage, but over the next thirty years $1 million becomes a significantly smaller amount of money relative to your holdings, you\u2019ve essentially gained substantial capital by living in a home you would be in anyway. With inflation, you may be able to sell that home for a cool profit in just a few years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Buy A Presale Property Now?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the expense, Vancouver is an excellent place to buy property.

It might be ideal if you could secure a property now paying the deposit and completing on the property in years to come when you can afford it. So, what\u2019s the remedy for this situation? A presale.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With everyone buying properties in Metro Vancouver, there is a scarcity of homes for sale and many properties are currently seeing multiple offers. So, if you want to buy in a year\u2019s time there may be limited choice. With a lack of properties and high demand, Vancouver real estate prices may have spiked and you\u2019ll be the one looking sadly at high price tags. Or, you can have your own home waiting for you down the road at a fixed price. You\u2019ll essentially be riding the wave of rising house prices in the Lower Mainland, building up equity without having to pay over the odds for a home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a presale you can make a down payment instead of a full deposit. You pay the remainder of your down payment over time and have additional time to save. Then you wait a year or two and start making payments on your brand-new home once it\u2019s built.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your presale condo is completed you will have an incredibly valuable asset on your hands. A brand-new home in a sellers\u2019 market is quite the commodity. You can lock in your purchase price before the real estate price rises and inflation devalues the Canadian dollar. In a rising market, that means it will likely have already increased in value by the time you move in, so you\u2019ll already have a return on your investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If buying a presale condo in Metro Vancouver might be a good fit for you right now, we would love to help.
