Home Buyers Plan (HBP): Allows you to withdraw funds from your Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) to buy a qualifying home for yourself. The HBP allows you to withdraw from your RRSP and pay back the withdrawn funds within a 15-year period. Your RRSP issuer will not withhold tax on withdrawn amounts of $35,000 or less
Pre-approved mortgages let you know how much you can afford, what your interest rate will be and what your monthly mortgage payments will look like. Getting pre-approved can help you narrow your search down to a specific home type, size or neighbourhood. Please contact us to speak with a mortgage specialist about getting pre-approved or simple apply online for a free pre-approval.
If you have less than 20% saved for a down payment, you’ll probably have to get mortgage loan insurance. It protects banks and other lenders against the risk of mortgage default . Insurance premiums on mortgage loans are calculated as a percentage of your total loan amount. They’re based on factors including the size and source of your down payment. In general, the smaller the down payment is, the higher the insurance premiums will be.
To qualify, you will need to meet your mortgage lender’s existing qualifications as well as the underwriting standards of the mortgage insurer.
If you have questions about eligibility requirements, please contact us to speak with a mortgage specialist to get all the answers you need.
