Five per cent in total. $10,000 goes in with your offer and the balance to five per cent is post dated eleven days after you sign. Your deposit is held in trust by the vendor’s solicitors as escrow agent, as required under the Condominium Act, and Tarion’s deposit protection stands behind it up to $20,000. Because Realm is complete, only weeks pass between signing and closing, so the price you sign is the price you close at.
