What this means if you're buying in Richmond Hill
Market conditions shape the negotiation; your income, debts and the stress test decide what you can actually borrow. Like the rest of central York, detached purchases here often sit at or above the $1.5 million line, so the down-payment jump from roughly $125,000 to $300,000 as you cross it is the single most important number to establish before you start looking. Properties backing onto the Oak Ridges Moraine or a conservation area can also carry development and environmental restrictions that affect appraisal — worth checking early where the lot is unusual.
