Quick Answers (Presale & New Build FAQs)

Are Markham presales better than resale?

They can be—if staged deposits and warranty coverage fit your timeline. Resale offers immediate move-in. We compare both against your goals.

Can I assign a pre-construction contract?

Only if your agreement permits it, often with fees and conditions. Always confirm clause language before relying on assignment.

What drives condo fees in new buildings?

Amenity scope, elevator count, and reserve funding. Compare fee projections, not just current estimates.

What upgrades matter most in a new build?

Prioritize structural (ceiling height, stairs, rough-ins) at the design-studio stage; surface finishes can be phased post-close.
