Assignment Sale
A Common Solution to Selling New Properties in the GTA’s Real Estate Market
As one of Canada’s most vibrant and fast-growing provinces, Ontario is home to a booming real estate market with plenty of investment opportunities. If you’re looking to buy or sell a property in the Greater Toronto Area and the rest of Ontario, you may come across the term “Assignment Sale.”
An Assignment Sale is a unique real estate transaction that can be an excellent opportunity for buyers and sellers. This guide will explore everything you need about assignment sales in Ontario’s real estate market and how to comply with the builder’s rules.
What is an Assignment Sale?
An Assignment Sale is a transaction where the original purchaser of a pre-construction property (i.e. a condo, townhouse, or house) sells their right to purchase the property to a new buyer. In other words, the original purchaser assigns their purchase contract to someone else. This means the new buyer takes over the contract and becomes the new property owner upon completion.
How Does an Assignment Sale Work?
In an Assignment Sale, the original purchaser (also known as the Assignor) lists their contract for sale on the market, usually at a price higher than what they paid for it. If a new buyer (also known as the Assignee) is interested in the property, they enter into an agreement with the Assignor to take over the contract. The Assignee then pays the Assignor the agreed-upon price, and the Assignor assigns their contract to the new buyer.
It’s important to note that the original purchaser may have to obtain permission from the developer to assign their contract. Additionally, the original purchaser may be responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with the assignment sale, such as legal or administrative fees.

Why Consider an Assignment Sale?
For Sellers
- In an Assignment Sale, the original Purchaser may have bought the property at a lower pre-construction price. This could give them a chance to sell the property at a higher price and make a profit.
- Sellers can free up their down payment money invested in the pre-construction property to purchase another.
For Buyers
- Buyers can access pre-construction properties that may no longer be available through the developer channels, one of the significant advantages of an assignment sale.
- Buyers who purchase pre-construction properties through an Assignment Sale face a lower risk of cancellation than the original purchaser who bought the unit in an earlier development phase with less certainty of taking possession of the property.
Risks and Considerations with Assignment Sale
For Sellers
- The developer may need to grant permission for the original Purchaser to assign their contract. Without permission from the developer, the assignment sale cannot proceed.
- The market for assignment sales may have limitations since not all buyers are interested in buying a property through an Assignment Sale.
For Buyers
- The builder continues to have control over the completion of the property until the Closing Date, which means the completion date of the pre-construction property could be further than the new buyer’s expectations.
- Buyers should note that they may have to bear additional costs associated with the Assignment Sale, such as legal or administrative fees.

Understanding the New Property Market
Our agents deeply understand the new property market, including the latest trends and buyer preferences. When selling a new property, it is critical to understand the market and have a good grasp of the current trends in the area, as well as know what buyers are looking for the most.
