What’s the minimum down payment required?
Here’s the quick breakdown:
🔑 For homes priced under $500k, the magic number is 5% of the purchase price.
🔑 Between $500k and $1M? It’s 5% on the first $500k, then 10% on the remainder.
🔑 Over $1M? You’re looking at a minimum of 20%. (Potentially more depending on location, lender, and value)
Remember, the size of your down payment affects not just your mortgage amount, but also whether you’ll need Default Insurance (CMHC insurance). The more you put down, the less your insurance premium could be, saving you money in the long run. 📉💰
