How to Actually Evaluate a Pre-Construction Condo (and Read “Condo Reviews” Critically)

How do you evaluate a pre-construction condo before buying, instead of being led by a glossy "condo review"? I break down builder track record via HCRA, Tarion deposit protection, maintenance-fee estimates, occupancy fees, development charges, assignment rights, and Ontario's 10-day cooling-off period. According to HCRA, every new-home builder in Ontario must be licensed and is searchable with a 10-year history.

I walk through the structural pillars — Greenbelt land constraint, immigration-driven population growth, and the CMHC supply gap — and stay honest about today's headwinds. According to CMHC (2025), Canada needs roughly 2.6 million additional units by 2035 to restore affordability.

大多伦多地产长期投资逻辑到底成不成立？我从绿带锁地、人口与移民增长、就业基础、CMHC 供应缺口几个结构性因素拆给你看，同时诚实讲清眼下的逆风：楼花滞销、利率高企、负现金流。According to CMHC (2025)，到 2035 年加拿大住房供应缺口约 260 万套。

Do You ‘Close’ on a Pre-Construction Condo? The Two Closings Every Ontario Buyer Should Know

An Ontario pre-construction condo has two closings: interim occupancy (you move in and pay occupancy fees / phantom rent) and final closing when the condo registers and title transfers. See the Condominium Act 1998 framework, occupancy-fee components, closing costs and Tarion timing.
