What you need to know...
Down payment
If just need a mortgage, you will need a minimum down payment of 5% of the value of your home.
The larger the down payment, the less interest you'll pay over the life of your mortgage.
A mortgage with a down payment less than 20% is considered a high ratio mortgage and must be insured by either CMHC, Genworth Financial or Canada Guaranty. Other circumstances may also require Mortgage Loan Insurance. If you need Mortgage Loan Insurance, our mortgage application will give you an estimate of the insurance premium. Your mortgage approval letter will provide you with the exact amount of the premium, including any applicable taxes, so there are no surprises.
Your down payment can include funds from your own savings, investments, sale of property, or gifts from an immediate family member. You can also use up to $25,000 of your RRSP investment per applicant as a source of your down payment. Learn more about using your RRSP as a down payment.
Closing costs
It's important to remember that there are additional costs to purchasing a new home, including land transfer taxes, lawyer/notary fees, and moving expenses, to name just a few. You will need to budget a minimum of 1.5% of the purchase price.
