Bridge Loans in Ontario
How fast can a bridge loan close in Ontario?
SRK CAPITAL closes bridge loans in 17 to 21 days standard, or 10 days when expedited. Speed depends on appraisal turnaround and your lender's capacity.
01
Ontario's median home price sits at $671,649, with homes moving in 47 days on average. That's a tight window for buyers who need to close on a new property before their current home sells.
A bridge loan covers the gap. You borrow against your departing residence, close on the new one immediately, and repay when your old home sells. Interest accrues during the hold period.

02
Bridge loans for investment properties require a minimum 700 representative credit score and a maximum 85 percent loan-to-value ratio. Loan amounts range from $100,000 to $5,000,000 on properties with up to four units.
Lenders underwrite bridge loans on the equity in your departing home and the value of the property you're buying. Documentation focuses on ownership, property appraisals, and your exit strategy—typically the sale of your current residence.

03
Bridge lending is a specialized market. Fewer lenders offer these products than conventional or FHA mortgages, and underwriting is tighter because the lender carries risk until your old home closes.
SRK CAPITAL shops bridge loans across its wholesale lender network. Many bridge lenders weigh equity and exit timeline alongside standard income documentation. Closing takes 17 to 21 days, or 10 days when expedited.
04
Bridge loans make sense in Ontario when you have substantial equity in your current home and need to move quickly. A median price of $671,649 can mean some sellers have equity available to borrow against.
They don't work if your old home won't sell soon or if you lack equity. A bridge is a timing tool, not a financing solution for weak positions. Call SRK CAPITAL to run the numbers on your specific situation.
05
A bridge loan closes fast but carries interest costs until your old home sells. A conventional loan on the new property requires you to qualify on two mortgages temporarily, which tightens your debt-to-income ratio.
Bridge loans skip the dual-qualification problem and let you make an offer without a sale contingency. That's powerful in Ontario's 47-day market. The trade-off is the interest cost and the certainty that your old home will actually close.
06
Ontario International Airport is undergoing the ONT BOLD expansion project, a notable infrastructure investment affecting the region. Infrastructure projects like this can help support long-term home values.
The Inland Empire's dining scene is expanding too. New coffeehouses and award-winning breweries like Hangar 24 and Claremont Craft Ales are opening across San Bernardino County. That adds lifestyle appeal for buyers here.
