APPLYMany homebuyers have been completely priced out of the home buying market recently, as the last 10 years have seen a significant jump in home prices. The Canadian Real Estate Association provides these numbers: the average price of a home in Ontario increased from $472,333 in 2015 to $561,896, with down payments growing from about $23,000 to $28,000 as a result. Keeping up with the cost of a mortgage payment is one thing, but saving up for a down payment of that size might be completely out of the question. The solution? A 0 down payment mortgage program where homebuyers can borrow all or a part of the down payment.
The 0 down payment mortgage program in Ontario requires homebuyers to have a very good credit score and an established income. Our mortgage specialists would be happy to talk to you about improving your credit if you believe your score is too low.
If you choose to go with a 0 down mortgage, you will have two additional costs but also enjoy two notable benefits. The CMHC premium is slightly higher, working out to be a one time charge of $250 for every $100,000 borrowed. It will be simply added to your mortgage principal, so you don’t have to pay for it up front. The more significant cost is the extra interest charge for the borrowed down payment. You can figure out what numbers you’re working with by using our No Down Payment Mortgage Cost Calculator.

A 0 down payment mortgage means two major benefits: time saved and equity earned. You could potentially purchase your own home years sooner than you expected, a subjective but very important factor for many families, depending on the situation. The more tangible benefit is the money you will earn through home appreciation and equity paid on your mortgage, as opposed to rent, with nothing to show for it in the end. This amount might be more than you think, once home appreciation and the time it would have taken to save a down payment are taken into account. Our cost calculator is conservative at a 3% home appreciation rate.
