Deposit timing
The August 5, 2026 offer sheet described four $30,000 deposits: on signing, then at 30, 60 and 180 days. Confirm the current structure before relying on it.
For the numbers-first buyer
Before you rule it out, understand the numbers.
Break the decision into deposits, financing, closing costs and the right professional questions—without handing over sensitive financial details.
A clearer sequence
Four conversations to have before you decide.
Mortgage planning
Ask a lender how qualification, rate changes and the time between signing and closing may affect you. Avoid treating an online estimate as an approval.
Closing costs
Budget separately for legal fees, adjustments, land transfer taxes and any project-specific charges in the agreement. Have your lawyer review the full schedule.
Family assistance
Discuss whether help is a gift, loan or shared ownership contribution—and have every party get appropriate legal and tax advice before funds move.
Current official tools
Use primary sources for the live calculation.
Rules and thresholds can change. These links take you to the agencies responsible for the information.
Free guide
Take the questions with you.
The buyer-numbers guide summarizes the sequence and includes a lawyer, lender and family-conversation checklist. It is educational, not mortgage, legal or tax advice.
