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.

A 5% down payment is available for homes up to $500,000. For homes priced higher, you put 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above $500,000.

Beyond the down payment, budget for closing costs, legal fees, inspections, and ongoing expenses like maintenance and property taxes.

Your affordability is based on income, credit score, existing debts, and monthly expenses. Getting pre-approved gives you a clear estimate and strengthens your offer.
