The Ontario housing market has been unpredictable in 2025. With higher mortgage payments, tighter lending conditions, and stubborn household debt, more families are finding themselves at risk of power of sale — when a lender forces the sale of a property after missed payments.

If you’re worried about losing your home, you’re not alone. Many homeowners across Toronto, the GTA, and other parts of Ontario are in the same position. The good news is that there are alternatives. At Tembo Financial, we offer private mortgage solutions that give you time, flexibility, and a fair shot at protecting your equity.

What Is Power of Sale — and Why Is It Risky?

When a bank starts a power of sale, their main goal is to recover what they’re owed as quickly as possible. That often means your property is listed fast, marketed with little effort, and sold for less than it’s truly worth.

This process can strip away tens of thousands in equity, leaving families with far less than they should have received.

That’s why acting early is critical.

How Tembo Stops Power of Sale

Tembo Financial provides private mortgages designed specifically for homeowners under financial pressure. Our solutions can:

• Pay off arrears immediately, stopping the bank’s legal process.
• Provide short-term financing, so you have breathing room.
• Restructure mortgage terms, making payments more manageable.

The goal is simple: give you back control of your property so you can sell on your own terms.

The Concept of “Stigma Equity”

Tembo’s CEO, Arryn Greenspan, uses the term “stigma equity” to describe a hidden loss that many homeowners don’t realize.

When a property is listed under power of sale, buyers see it as distressed. That stigma leads to lower offers and a quick, undervalued sale.

Tembo helps close that gap by:

• • Paying off the bank so the property can be relisted by the homeowners themselves.

• Offering financing for light improvements or renovations to boost curb appeal.
• Giving homeowners time to market strategically, not under duress.

This approach can often result in significantly higher sale prices, allowing clients to walk away with more money and less stress.

Why Choose Tembo Over the Banks?

Traditional lenders don’t personalize solutions — they follow strict rules. Tembo is different.

• • Patience pays off: We don’t rush your sale. We customize the term to fit the client.

• Tailored financing: Every situation is unique, so our private loans are customized.
• Equity protection: By stopping forced sales, we help protect the full value of your home.

Big banks see numbers. Tembo sees people.
