在加拿大，卖家房产经纪在房源登上MLS系统之后，一般都会在周六日2-4点举办Open House (公众开放日)，方便买家来看房。公众开放日期间，买家可以不用预约，直接walk-in 去看房。
理论上来说，您可以出任何您觉得合理的offer. 但是实际操作过程中，您的low-ball offer可能会被卖家认为您不是一个诚意的买家，只是为了试探卖家的价格底线。一些情况下，卖家对于这样的offer，可能会不予理会。
以下文章非常清晰的告诉我们在购买楼花过程中，需要考虑的一些重要问题，比如什么是合同冷静期（cooling-off period, recission period），如何准备收付款，提前多久和银行作贷款预批，如何了解开发商（防止暴雷事件的发生），对于有经验的投资者，可能这些都是小问题，但是对于很大一部分首次置业者来说，这是一个重要的决定，需要了解过程中的方方面面，这样才能心中不慌果断投资置业。
This cheaper option for home ownership may be tempting, but it also comes with risks
Don’t know what a leasehold property is? Don’t worry. Here’s a basic introduction with some finer talking points.
At number eight on the list, Vancouver is the only city outside Ontario to make the top 10
Vancouver is Canada’s eighth-best city in which to buy real estate, according to an analysis by MoneySense, and the only city outside of Ontario to make the top 10. Guelph, Ontario, took top place, with Durham/Oshawa and Brantford rounding out the top three. Toronto came in at number 13.
For first-time home-buyers, choosing the right mortgage can feel daunting. Here’s a classic example: Let’s say Jen and Jon Smith are taking the plunge with a three-bedroom, two-bath detached home in a mid-size Alberta city. But when it comes to their mortgage, they’re not sure which way to go between a fixed rate or variable rate mortgage. Which mortgage is right for them? What are the pros and cons? How do costs differ? The questions go on and on, and the short answer of “it depends” isn’t exactly comforting.
In early 2019, several Canadian banks launched digital apps that offer home buyers easy, hassle-free mortgage pre-qualification in 60 seconds or less. Sounds great, right? The problem is many consumers believe a mortgage pre-qualification is a lot like a mortgage pre-approval or mortgage approval. As a result, prospective home buyers and sellers are left expecting the financial institution associated with the app to lend them hundreds of thousands of dollars, despite the fact they simply keyed their names, addresses, contact information and gross income into various online fields.
It finally happened. You found the home that has everything that matters to you and your family. The amenities, the location, the style - it’s all lining up beautifully.
But there’s a step in the home buying process before you get the keys that some people overlook: How do you make the right offer to actually get the property? Here are some tips to point you in the right direction and give you an advantage when it comes to putting together a winning offer.
When you sell a property in BC you're required to prepare a Property Disclosure Statement (PDS) so potential buyers are aware of any possible defects in the property. You, as a seller, must not conceal any defects you're aware of.
Buying a house is complicated enough without the very real chance of buying a grow op house. A grow op house can come with structural problems and mould caused by long-term moisture, to say nothing of the danger of being attacked by criminals who think it's still a grow up. Think that former grow-op is a deal? think again.
Until recently there was no way to find out if a property had been a grow op or former drug lab. But the RCMP has introduced a national website that lists addresses where drug lab and grow op busts took place. It also tells how many marijuana plants were found on the property or what kind of drug was being manufactured. Each listing is on the site for a year.
Choosing the right builder can be just as important as choosing your new home. When you purchase a home, you also "buy" the company that will build it for you. Their experience, skills and commitment to customer service will play a key role in determining how satisfied you are with your house and with the home buying experience.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation(CMHC) offers the following tips on how to find and select a new home builder that will meet your family's needs and expectations:
A home inspection can be a make-or-break factor in the process of buying a house -- and in B.C. consumers have protection unique to the country.
Last year, B.C. became the only province in Canada to require that home inspectors be licensed. Licensing enhances consumer protection as businesses licensed with Consumer Protection BC have obligations under the law and must adhere to the standards of their association such as educational requirements and a code of ethics.
If affording a home seems impossible, you might not have considered these options
It’s no small secret that the Vancouver housing market is a tough one to break into. Among millennials and young families alike, the idea of buying property within the city limits is a daunting one. However, for would-be homebuyers in the Lower Mainland, there are a few simple tricks that can make the market a lot friendlier.
First, what is probate?
Probate, in short, is the court procedure for two things:
• Official approval of the will by the court as the valid last will of the deceased; and
• Appointment of the person (or persons) who will act as the executor of the deceased’s estate.
A new Condo and Strata Assignment Integrity Register (CSAIR) has been introduced by the BC Ministry of Finance to track condominium pre-sales throughout the province.
How the register will work
The BC Land Title and Survey Authority will administer the online register which will be a database for assignments of purchase agreements for all residential condo and strata lots in BC, including both pre-sale lots and completed lots.

Several factors influence the housing market, including mortgage interest rates, inflation, employment, investment, construction, immigration, government assistance programs, and the health of local and world economies. All of these influence the supply and demand of the market which, in turn, affects prices.
A survey last year by CIBC found that nearly 40 per cent of B.C. homeowners were planning on renovating their homes.
If you own, or are looking to buy, a pre-1990s home, and are planning a demolition or renovation, you’ll need to understand the risks of asbestos and the need to hire a qualified testing company.
买公寓吗？买权人的法律学说（“让买方当心”）今天仍然适用于卑诗省的房地产交易，并可能导致购买者拒绝对购买后财产中发现的缺陷和不足采取补救措施。通常，由买方来确定所出售财产的状态和质量是责任，而不是由卖方指出任何潜在问题。
