The five\u002Dday pre\u002Doffer period would require a listing remain on the market for a minimum of five days before offers are accepted. Sellers would also be required to share property disclosure forms and key strata documents up front as part of the listing process.

On Thursday, the B.C. Financial Services Authority — which oversees credit unions, mortgage brokers, and insurance brokers in addition to real estate — made recommendations for a pre-offer period and a cooling-off period in B.C. real estate transactions, in addition to other changes.
