Building a home or buying pre-construction in Stouffville, Ontario? Sarah Colucci specializes in new construction mortgages — draw-down schedules, builder closing risk, occupancy financing, and converting your construction loan to a permanent mortgage at the best available rate. Call 647-773-4849.
Mortgage options in Stouffville depend on the property, requested loan amount, verified income, credit history and the lender's current guidelines. The local average home price is approximately $1,050,000, but individual properties and neighbourhoods vary widely. Sarah reviews the complete application rather than relying on one rate or one automated rule.
Sarah Antonia Colucci is a licensed Mortgage Agent Level 2 with access to more than 50 lenders. She compares available mortgage structures, explains costs and restrictions, and identifies the documents a lender will need before an application is submitted. The initial consultation is free, and recommendations remain subject to lender review, property acceptance and full underwriting.
A useful review normally includes the mortgage balance or purchase price, available equity or down payment, household income, monthly obligations, credit history and the client's short- and long-term plans. Looking at these details together helps distinguish a low headline rate from a mortgage that actually fits the client's situation.
Standard rate holds are 90–120 days. For pre-construction properties, select lenders offer extended rate holds of 12, 18, or even 24 months — typically with a small rate premium (0.05%–0.20%) to cover the lender's interest rate risk. The right strategy depends on where rates are relative to forecasts. I'll advise you on whether locking early makes sense given the current rate environment.
This is one of the most serious risks in pre-con purchasing. If your income, credit, or the lender's qualification rules change between signing and closing, you may not qualify — and the builder can sue for damages. Prevention is critical: proper pre-approval before signing and monitoring your financial position through the build period. If you're already in this situation, I work through every possible solution, including alternative lenders and private bridge financing.
Builder-preferred lenders often offer incentives (cash back, capped closing costs) that can be genuine value — but only if their rate is competitive. I compare the builder's lender offer against the full market. Sometimes the builder's deal is best; more often, combining market-rate financing with the builder's non-rate incentives is the optimal strategy. I always give you both options.
An assignment is when you sell your pre-con agreement to another buyer before final closing — effectively selling your purchase contract. The new buyer (assignee) typically needs to qualify for a new mortgage. Assignments are complex, often restricted by builder consent clauses, and have significant tax implications (HST on the profit in many cases). I help assignees structure their financing and can explain the tax considerations for sellers.
