People who bought pre-construction condos years ago are now struggling to close the transactions due to changing market conditions and rising interest rates.
Mark Morris, a real estate lawyer, is dealing with many such cases. Morris explains the current falling market is causing many buyers to be unable to close their transactions, leading to legal problems. He advises buyers to secure large deposits to protect themselves in case of a breach. He also suggests that buyers should hire lawyers who specialize in real estate to navigate through potential issues.
