A first-time home buyer mortgage is designed specifically for individuals purchasing their first property, offering tailored options, competitive rates, and guidance throughout the home-buying process.
5% down payment is available to you for homes up to $500,000 as the purchase price. First time Home Buyers will have to put 10% “on the portion” of the price over $500,000. For instance On a purchasing a home for the price of $700,000, the minimum down payment the buyer has to pay will be calculated as 5% on the first $500,000 payments that will be around $25,000 and 10% on the next $200,000 which would be around $10,000. So the total down payment will sum up to $35,000.
Beyond the down payment, you should budget for closing costs, legal fees, inspections, and ongoing expenses like maintenance and property taxes
Not necessarily—many lenders offer flexible solutions and guidance, evaluating your financial situation and helping you find suitable mortgage options even if you’re new to homeownership.
Your affordability is based on factors like income, credit score, existing debts, and monthly expenses. Getting pre-approved can give you a clear estimate and strengthen your offer.
