My new purchase i had to put down $5,000 for 6 days to hold the unit i wanted after 6 days they required $77k and in 4 months $41k. A total of 15%, each developer is different.
Speaking of new purchases and stories
Purchased a new low rise on hastings about 9-10 years ago. Here comes the nightmares.
-Developer went bankrupt
-Late building the unit by almost 1 year
-Hardwood floors were bowed
-No fridge or bathroom fan at inspection time or when i received the keys, fridge took 1 week. I had to draw up a fake letter from a lawyer to get the fucker to come and install and supply a fan. It took 2.5 months.
-Both "new" boilers went in the first 6 months. We didn't have hot water for like 2 weeks.
-Countless other problems i cannot remember. but hated everything to do with the building
I got the hell out of dodge after 1 year because i knew there was alot of problems with the building and going to be costs in the future.
2nd new purchase

Late by 1 week, not bad if you ask me
-1 wall had 2 big bubbles in the drywall, a picture easily covered this up
-vent fan for the microwave was missing (i never knew this until i recently sold this place) Never really use the microwave lol, fixed this for less than $10.
Recently sold after 6 years, no issues other than wear and tear items.
