What this means if you're buying in Ajax
Market conditions shape the negotiation; your income, debts and the stress test decide what you can actually borrow. In a market this tight the practical risk is being pushed to write without a financing condition. That is a genuine gamble — if the appraisal comes in low or an underwriter questions something, the deposit is at stake. The way to compete safely is to have the file fully underwritten in advance, so a short condition is a formality rather than a hope. A pre-approval that is just a rate hold does not achieve this; a properly underwritten one does.
