How this works

Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound twice a year, not monthly, so payments are slightly lower than a US calculator shows. With less than 20% down you need mortgage default insurance; the premium depends on how much you borrow against the price (from 0.60% up to 4.00%) and is added to your mortgage. A 30-year amortization with insurance adds 0.20% and is open to first-time buyers and new builds. Insured mortgages are available on homes under $1.5 million.

Minimum down payment: 5% of the first $500,000, 10% of the part from $500,000 to $1.5 million, and 20% of the whole price at $1.5 million or more.
