What is a First Refusal offer ? And How can it help you buy a home in todays market before selling your home?

Hey Ottawa homeowners! As your trusted local realtor, I'm here to shed light on a very important buying strategy in today's dynamic real estate landscape: the First Refusal Offer. In a market where homes are moving slower then usual and timing your sale with a purchase can be difficult, this tactic can be your golden ticket to securing your dream home before parting ways with your current one.

So, what exactly is a First Refusal Offer? Think of it as your VIP pass to the homebuying journey. When you find that perfect new home but haven't quite sealed the deal on selling your current property, a First Refusal Offer lets you claim dibs on the new house while you try to sell your current home. In a first refusal offer that seller will continue to market the home for sale and if another potential buyer swoops in during the first refusal period, you have the right to either move forward to firm up the purchase or let it go to new buyer but it gives you the option first. It's like having a backup plan that puts you in the driver's seat.

Now, how does this benefit you in Ottawa's real estate market? Well, picture this – you stumble upon your dream home in a sought-after neighborhood. With a First Refusal Offer, you can confidently make a move without the pressure of finalizing the sale of your current home first. It's a strategic play that allows you to navigate the market with flexibility and speed while at the same time protecting you from having 2 properties and 2 mortgages.

But that's not all. In a city like Ottawa, where the market is bustling and competitive, having the ability to lock in a property before selling yours gives you a significant edge. You avoid the risk of losing out on a great opportunity while ensuring a seamless transition from one home to the next.

As your Ottawa realtor, I'm here to guide you through the intricacies of the Ottawa real estate market. Let's explore how a First Refusal Offer can be tailored to your unique situation, providing you with the peace of mind and confidence needed to make your next move with ease.

There are a few other ways to secure a home before selling depending on your situation which include bridge loans, Rent back period clauses, long closing dates with extension clauses to name a few.

Don't just follow the market; lead it. Embrace the power of the First Refusal Offer and take charge of your homebuying journey in Ottawa. Let's turn your real estate dreams into reality!
