A down payment is more than a savings goal. For many homebuyers, it represents years of planning, saving and working toward a home purchase.
CMHC’s 2026 Mortgage Consumer Survey found that homebuyers took an average of 4.4 years to save for a down payment, up from 3.4 years in 2025. Among first-time buyers, 51% said savings were the largest part of their down payment.
Reaching that point takes a lot of work, and what comes next deserves the same level of thought and effort. Your mortgage should be approached with that same attention and intention.
