The financing condition is the piece that scares sellers, not the price. A financed buyer can still walk if the lender's appraisal comes back short or the mortgage falls through in the final week, and every day that risk sits on the table is a day the seller cannot plan around.
Proof of funds needs to come from an actual institution, dated recently, in an amount that covers the offer. A lawyer registering the transfer through Information Services Corporation will confirm those funds exist before possession day, so a vague bank statement screenshot does not carry the same weight as a real letter.
Flexibility on possession date matters almost as much as removing the condition, since a seller juggling their own move will often take a slightly lower number for a date that actually works. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
