Financing Your Home - What You Need To Know<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, and understanding how financing works can make the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect \u2014 and how to set yourself up for success.<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is the first question to ask yourself \u2014 and the answer might surprise you. Several factors come into play: your income, your credit history, your current debts, your available down payment, and your employment stability. The good news is that there are often more options than you might think. Contact us and we’ll help you assess your situation \u2014 no judgment, no pressure.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Getting Pre-Approved<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Before you start visiting properties, getting a mortgage pre-approval is one of the smartest moves you can make. A pre-approval tells you exactly how much a lender is willing to offer you, so you can shop with confidence and act quickly when you find the right home. It also shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer \u2014 which can make a real difference in a competitive market. We always recommend getting pre-approved before your first visit.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fixed vs. Variable Rate \u2014 Which Is Right for You?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
A fixed rate stays the same for the duration of your term, giving you predictable monthly payments and peace of mind. A variable rate fluctuates with the market, which can mean savings when rates drop \u2014 but less certainty overall. Most terms in Canada range from 1 to 5 years, with a 25-year amortization being the most common. A mortgage broker can help you figure out which option fits your situation best.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Down Payment Basics<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
In Canada, the minimum down payment is 5% for properties under $500,000. Between $500,000 and $999,999, it’s 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the remainder. For properties $1,000,000 and over, a minimum of 20% is required. Putting down 20% or more also means you avoid mortgage insurance \u2014 which brings us to the next point.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

CMHC Mortgage Insurance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
If your down payment is less than 20%, your mortgage must be insured through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). This protects the lender \u2014 not you \u2014 in case of default. The insurance premium is added to your mortgage and typically ranges from 2.8% to 4% of the loan amount depending on your down payment. It’s an added cost, but it’s also what makes homeownership accessible with a smaller down payment.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Beyond your down payment, plan to set aside an additional 2% to 4% of the purchase price to cover closing costs. In Quebec, this typically includes notary fees, the welcome tax (taxe de bienvenue), home inspection fees, and any adjustments at closing. These costs are easy to overlook, so it’s always better to budget for them early.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If this is your first home, there are some great programs that can help. The Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) lets you withdraw up to $60,000 from your RRSP tax-free to use toward your purchase. The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is a newer account that lets you save up to $40,000 tax-free specifically for buying your first home. Quebec also offers a land transfer tax rebate for first-time buyers. These programs can add up to significant savings \u2014 ask us and we’ll point you in the right direction.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Financing a Commercial Property<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whether you’re looking to purchase an office, a retail space, a multi-unit building, or an investment property, commercial financing works a little differently than residential \u2014 but the process doesn’t have to be intimidating.<\/h5>
Commercial loans typically require a higher down payment, usually between 25% and 35% of the purchase price, and lenders will look closely at both your personal finances and the income potential of the property itself. Terms and amortization periods can vary widely depending on the type of property and the lender.<\/h5>
Because commercial financing is more complex, working with a mortgage broker who specializes in commercial transactions is especially valuable. They can help you navigate the options, structure your financing strategically, and find lenders who understand your goals \u2014 whether you’re a first-time investor or expanding an existing portfolio.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
