Bridge financing in Halifax — the local picture

On a Halifax home at the $580,000 benchmark (Nova Scotia, population ~470k), Halifax move-up buyers in South End and North End routinely close a purchase before their sale settles; the equity in a $580,000-tier departing home bridges the down-payment gap, interest-only, with no penalty once the sale closes.

Buying before you sell in Halifax

When your Halifax purchase closes before your sale settles, bridge financing covers the down-payment gap so you don't lose the home you want. It's secured by the equity in your departing property — borrow up to that equity minus your existing mortgage and selling costs. Payments are interest-only during the bridge, and there's no prepayment penalty: your sale proceeds pay it out. Terms run 30–180 days, sized to your actual closing date, and it usually funds the same day as your purchase.

What you need to qualify — and what it costs

Almost every lender needs your sale to be firm (financing condition cleared) because the bridge is repaid from those proceeds; a few will bridge a conditional sale at higher rates. Pricing is interest-only, typically prime + 1% to prime + 4%, plus a small admin fee and minor legal cost — modest against the cost of losing a Atlantic home or rushing a sale. Bridge financing is exempt from the federal stress test because it's a short-term sale-proceeds loan; your new purchase mortgage is the one that's stress-tested.
