Inquire TodayAnswers to Your Questions...
What is the minimum down payment required for first-time homebuyers in B.C.?
For first-time homebuyers in B.C., the minimum down payment depends on the price of the home. If the home is priced at $500,000 or less, you will need at least 5% of the purchase price as your down payment. For homes priced between $500,000 and $1,000,000, you’ll need 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that. For homes over $1,000,000, a down payment of at least 20% is required. I can help you explore options like the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive or the Home Buyers’ Plan, which allows you to use your RRSP savings to fund your down payment.
What incentives or programs are available for first-time homebuyers in B.C.?
There are several programs designed to make it easier for first-time homebuyers in B.C. The First-Time Home Buyer Incentive offers a shared equity loan with the government, reducing your monthly mortgage payments. You may also be eligible for the Home Buyers’ Plan, which lets you withdraw up to $35,000 from your RRSP tax-free to use toward your down payment. Additionally, the Property Transfer Tax Exemption could save you thousands of dollars if your home purchase qualifies. As your mortgage broker, I’ll ensure you take full advantage of these programs to reduce costs and make homeownership more affordable.
How do I know how much mortgage I can afford as a first-time buyer?
Determining how much mortgage you can afford involves looking at your overall financial picture, including your income, monthly debts, and credit score. Lenders in B.C. Typically use your gross debt service (GDS) ratio and total debt service (TDS) ratio to assess your affordability. Your GDS ratio should not exceed 32%, and your TDS ratio should not exceed 40% of your gross monthly income. I will work with you to analyze your finances, help you get pre-approved, and find the right mortgage amount that fits your budget without stretching your finances too thin. Together, we can ensure you're comfortable with your mortgage payments while meeting your homeownership goals.
