Save your downpayment<\/h2>\n<p>When you get a mortgage loan, you are obligated by law to invest an amount taken from your personal assets. This is called the downpayment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minimum downpayment required<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally, a mortgage requires a minimum downpayment of 20% of the lesser amount between the cost and market value of the property.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main downpayment sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Savings accounts<\/li>\n<li>Deposit certificates and savings bonds<\/li>\n<li>Investment funds and RRSPs<\/li>\n<li>Money received as a gift, under certain conditions<\/li>\n<li>The value of the land on which you want to build a home, if you are the owner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re building your own home with the help of family and friends, your caisse may consider a portion of the value of their labour to reduce the amount required for the downpayment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Buyers\u2019 Plan (HBP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can borrow up to $25,000 from your RRSP (up to $50,000 per couple), tax free, to purchase a new or existing home with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caissealliance.com\/fr\/produits\/rap-ontario\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Home Buyers\u2019 Plan (HBP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Savings by instalments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If buying a home is a medium- or long-term project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caissealliance.com\/fr\/produits\/epargne-depot-periodique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regular Deposit Term Savings<\/a>\u00a0is an excellent way to help you save towards a downpayment. Funds are withdrawn from your personal chequing account and deposited directly to a savings account at the frequency of your choice. The funds add up faster than you think!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting a mortgage with a downpayment of less than 20%<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you need a mortgage greater to 80% of the property value, you are required by law to obtain mortgage loan insurance from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca\/en\/\">Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)<\/a> or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagen.ca\/\">Sagen\u2122<\/a>. The downpayment can be as low as 5% or 10% of the property value.<br \/>\nThe insurance premium varies according to the downpayment and must either be paid at the time of purchase or added to the mortgage amount.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out more \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Contact your caisse advisor\u00a0to learn more about the conditions that apply to the Home Buyers\u2019 Plan (HBP) and mortgage insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Calculate your mortgage payments and how much you can spend on a home<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The 2 golden rules of borrowing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No more than 32% of the gross household revenue should go to cover housing costs (mortgage payments, taxes, heating, insurance, condo fees, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>No more than 40% of the gross household revenue should go to paying off all your debts (home-related costs, personal, auto and student loans, credit cards and lines of credit, etc.).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To avoid becoming overcommitted financially, the family of John Homeworthy, whose gross annual income is $60,000, can afford $1,600 a month for home-related expenses and a maximum of $500 for other financial obligations, for a total of $2,100 a month or $25,200 a year.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Estimate start-up costs<\/h2>\n<p>Start-up costs represent 3 to 5% of a property\u2019s purchase price. Lawyer fees, transfer taxes or \u201cwelcome tax\u201d, evaluations and inspections all have to be considered in advance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caissealliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/start-up_costs_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calculate your start-up costs<\/a> (PDF)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much do you have for a downpayment?
