There seems to be some confusion & concerns about the implementation of this new legislation.  It's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds.  I understand the intent, which was to protect buyers in "subject free" offer situations.  This was extremely comon over the past few years.  Trust me it wasn't a lot of fun representing buyers at this time! The unfortunate thing is the market conditions have totally changed now & these "subject free" offers are rare now.  

Foreign Buyer Ban

Here's a great article on the projected effect of this new government ban effective January 1, 2023.
