Common Questions From First-Time Home Buyers

How much do I need for a down payment?

The amount required depends on the purchase price of the home and your financing. Many first-time buyers are surprised to learn that homeownership may be possible with a lower down payment than they expected.

What other costs should I budget for?

In addition to your down payment, you'll want to plan for closing costs, legal fees, home inspections, moving expenses, and utility setup costs.

Should I get pre-approved before looking at homes?

Yes. A mortgage pre-approval helps you understand your budget and allows you to shop with confidence when the right home becomes available.

How do I choose the right neighbourhood?

Every buyer's priorities are different. Factors such as commute times, schools, amenities, future growth, and lifestyle should all be considered when choosing where to buy.
