How to Buy With a Low Downpayment

Yes, it's possible to buy a home in Canada with a down payment as low as 5%! This is typically applicable for homes priced up to $500,000. However, there are certain conditions and requirements associated with such a low down payment, including the need for mortgage insurance provided by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or other mortgage insurers. Additionally, there may be other factors to consider such as your credit score, income, and debt-to-income ratio. It's advisable to consult with a mortgage broker or lender to discuss your specific situation and options.

If you're looking to make a down payment of 10% on a home purchase in Canada, you may still be eligible for mortgage insurance through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or other mortgage insurers. Typically, a higher down payment like 10% can provide some advantages, such as potentially lower mortgage insurance premiums and a smaller loan amount, which could result in lower monthly mortgage payments.

To qualify for a mortgage with a 10% down payment, you'll still need to meet certain criteria including having a stable income, a good credit score, and a manageable debt-to-income ratio. Additionally, lenders may require you to have sufficient funds to cover closing costs and other expenses associated with buying a home.

It's recommended to speak with a mortgage broker or lender who can provide you with detailed information about the specific requirements for a 10% down payment mortgage based on your financial situation and the property you're interested in purchasing.
