What is the home buying process in Ontario?

The home buying process in Ontario involves getting pre-approved for a mortgage, working with a REALTOR to find the right property, making a competitive offer, completing due diligence including home inspection and financing, and closing the transaction with a real estate lawyer. The process typically takes 30-90 days from accepted offer to closing.

How long does it take to buy a house in the Ottawa Valley?

Typically 30-90 days from an accepted offer to closing, depending on financing conditions and agreed-upon possession dates. Pre-approval and home searching can add several weeks before the offer stage.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a house in Ontario?

While not legally required, using a buyer's real estate agent is strongly recommended. The buyer's agent commission is typically paid by the seller in most Ontario transactions, meaning buyer representation costs you nothing while providing expert guidance, market knowledge, and negotiation support.
