New Down Payment Rules as of February 2016:

Purchasing your first home can be incredibly exciting, whether you’re doing it on your own, with a new spouse, or with your family. 5% down payment is available for homes up to $500,000 purchase price. Homebuyers will have to put 10% “on the portion” of the price over $500,000.

For example: On a purchase price of $700,000, minimum down payment will be calculated as below:

5% on the first $500,000 = $25,000

10% on the next $200,000 = $20,000

A total of $25,000 + $20,000 = $45,000

Portability

If you plan to live in the home for more than five years, you need not worry about portability that is, shifting the mortgage to a new property.

Low-Frills Mortgages

If you don’t plan on moving, refinancing or making huge prepayments in the upcoming five years, you can consider low-frills mortgages.

Extra-Savings

Most first-timer buyers opt for a 5-year fixed rate because they cannot afford an interest risk.

Hybrid Mortgages:

If you do go variable, look for one that maintains your payment the same regardless of interest rate variations. It’s easier for budgeting and gives you peace of mind if rates start climbing.
