Waiting to save that full 20% down payment in Canada could cost you up to $175,000. The 20% down payment is one of the most expensive MYTHS in Canadian real estate. The real minimum is a sliding scale — 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the balance — which works out to 5% to 8.33% on any home purchase up to CMHC's $1,499,999 insured home purchase cap. But here's the thing — the minimum 5% down payment does carry some risk. Between 5% to 20% down, there is a sweet spot where home buyers should leverage the CMHC mortgage program. In this episode, I run 2 live examples through my calculator: a $600,000 Toronto condo and a $1.2M freehold for move-up buyers locked out of the FHSA and RRSP Home Buyers' Plan. Plus the detail most buyers miss: CMHC insured mortgages typically stay insured at renewal, so the mortgage rate advantage follows you for decades.
