Your Ultimate Guide to Saving for a Down Payment and Understanding Mortgages in Canada
Owning a home is one of life’s most exciting milestones, but with the average Canadian home priced at about $650,000, starting your journey can feel overwhelming. At iMortgage Capital, we’re here to make the process easier by helping you understand mortgages and the tools available to supercharge your savings.
A mortgage is a loan from a bank, credit union, or private lender that helps finance your home purchase, with the home serving as collateral for the loan. It’s a legal agreement between you and the lender, outlining payment terms, the interest rate, and other key details.
As a borrower, you'll repay the loan principal (the amount borrowed) along with interest over a set term and amortization period. In Canada, mortgages can be amortized for up to 30 years, with typical terms ranging from 3–5 years. At the end of each term, you can renew or refinance your mortgage based on your goals.
The minimum down payment varies by purchase price:
Homes $500,000 or less: 5% of the purchase price.
Homes $500,001 to $1,499,999: 5% on the first $500,000, and 10% on the remainder.
Homes $1,500,000 or more: 20% of the purchase price.
Example:
For a $750,000 home:
5% of $500,000 = $25,000
10% of $250,000 = $25,000
Total down payment: $50,000
Note: As of December 15, 2024, homes priced under $1.5 million with a down payment of less than 20% require mortgage default insurance.
