📉 Minimum Down Payment in Canada (2026)

  • 5% for homes under $500,000
  • 10% on the portion between $500K–$1M
  • 20% minimum for homes over $1M

Many Blue Mountain properties exceed $1M, meaning 20% down is often required — especially for luxury homes or non-owner-occupied properties.

🧮 5% Down vs 20% Down Payment

✔ 5% Down

  • Enter the market sooner
  • Lower upfront capital
  • Requires CMHC mortgage insurance
  • Higher monthly payments

✔ 20% Down

  • No CMHC insurance
  • Lower monthly payments
  • Stronger negotiating position
  • Common for vacation or investment properties

We help buyers analyze total borrowing costs and rental income potential.

🛡️ CMHC Mortgage Insurance

If putting less than 20% down on a primary residence:

  • Mortgage insurance is required
  • Added to your mortgage balance
  • Premium varies by down payment percentage

Investment and secondary properties may have different lending requirements — we guide you through the specifics.
