What is the homebuying process in Ontario?

The process of buying a residential property in Ontario typically involves the following steps:

Finding a property: Start by browsing listings online, or working with a real estate agent to find properties that meet your needs and budget.
Making an offer: Once you've found a property you're interested in, you'll need to make an offer to the seller. This can be done with the help of a real estate agent, or on your own.
Negotiating the terms: Once the seller has received your offer, they may accept it, reject it, or counter it. You'll then need to negotiate the terms of the sale, including the price, closing date, and any contingencies.
Getting a mortgage: If you're not paying for the property in cash, you'll need to get a mortgage from a bank or other lending institution.
Closing the sale: Once all the terms have been agreed upon, the sale will be "closed." This means that the property will be transferred from the seller to the buyer, and the buyer will need to pay the purchase price.
