First-Time Home Buyer

Navigating Your First Home Purchase

Purchasing your first home involves several key steps, from understanding your mortgage options to choosing the right property in North Bay. We're here to provide clarity and support every step of the way.

Knowing Your Mortgage and Lending Options

It's crucial to understand the various mortgage options available to you, including CMHC-insured loans, the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive, and traditional mortgages with different down payment requirements.

• CMHC: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation: CMHC plays a pivotal role in helping Canadians access affordable housing. Their mortgage loan insurance enables lenders to offer financing to homebuyers with a minimum down payment of 5%, making homeownership more accessible.
• First-Time Home Buyer Incentive (FTHBI): The FTHBI offers up to 10% of a home's purchase price to help reduce monthly mortgage payments, making it easier for first-time buyers to enter the housing market. Eligibility criteria include household income and credit score requirements.
• The 5% Down Payment Option: For many first-time buyers, the 5% down payment option is a gateway to homeownership, reducing the initial financial burden. However, it's important to consider additional costs like closing fees.

Making an Informed Decision

Choosing the right mortgage and understanding the terms of your loan is crucial. We encourage first-time buyers to shop around for competitive rates and fully comprehend their loan agreement.
