Realm

Buying pre-construction at a project like Realm usually begins with registering for first access, which puts you in line to receive pricing, floor plans, and release details before wider sales open. Getting in early during a release can matter, as the most sought-after layouts and pricing tiers are often available at the outset.

Deposits on pre-construction homes in Ontario are typically staged over time rather than paid all at once, with instalments due at set milestones after signing. There is also usually a period of interim occupancy before the final closing, where a home is ready to move into ahead of the transfer of ownership. The builder will confirm the exact deposit structure and timelines for Realm.

For new condominium purchases in Ontario, buyers are protected by a 10-day cooling-off period under the Condominium Act, during which you can review the disclosure documents and rescind the agreement. Note this statutory cooling-off period applies to condos; buyers should confirm with the builder and their own advisors how it relates to a specific townhome purchase.
