North York is City of Toronto, so the municipal land transfer tax applies on every purchase alongside the provincial charge. That matters most on the Yonge and Sheppard corridors, where the condo stock is dense and buyers are frequently closing pre-construction units bought years earlier at prices the current appraisal will not support.
That appraisal gap is the North York file Paul sees most often. A unit purchased at 2021 or 2022 pricing appraises materially lower at closing, the lender advances against the appraised value, and the buyer is short with a firm closing date and a builder unwilling to extend. Cross-collateralising against an existing property, or arranging short-term private financing to bridge the shortfall, is often the only thing that saves the deposit.
North of Sheppard, Willowdale, Bayview Village and Lansing run on a different problem entirely: buyers acquiring older detached homes to demolish and rebuild. That is construction draw financing, not a standard mortgage, and it needs a lender who advances on stages of completion rather than one lump sum at closing.
