Power of Sale Listings Toronto & GTA, Ontario

A power of sale property is a home or property being sold by a lender (usually a bank or mortgage company) after the homeowner has defaulted on their mortgage payments. In Ontario, power of sale is governed by the Mortgages Act and allows lenders to sell properties without going through the courts, unlike judicial foreclosure. Power of sale properties in Toronto, the GTA, and Durham Region often sell below market value, making them excellent investment opportunities for buyers.

In Ontario, power of sale and foreclosure are two different processes. Power of sale allows the lender to sell the property without court involvement after providing proper notice to the homeowner. The lender must sell the property at fair market value and return any excess proceeds to the borrower. Foreclosure requires a court order and transfers full ownership to the lender. Power of sale is much more common across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario because it is faster and less expensive for lenders.
