Thinking about buying a condo? π STOP before you sign anything!
Whether youβre looking at a shiny new pre-construction unit or an already-built resale, condo contracts are an absolute minefield. π£
Here is what you actually need to know before you hand over your deposit:
π Pre-Construction Contracts are massive. They are NOT your standard paperwork. Missing a single clause could hook you into massive unexpected costs.
π The Status Certificate is your crystal ball. This document tells you the real financial health of the building.
π Watch out for condo fee spikes! Your status certificate will reveal if the building is under-budgeted, meaning your monthly fees could skyrocket next year.
The Golden Rule: Never just read it and say "yeah, looks cool." Always get a real estate lawyer to drill down into the paperwork before you take title. βοΈ
π Save this reel for when you start your property hunt, and drop a π’ in the comments if you're looking to buy this year!
