Step 1 – Mortgage Pre-Approval in Brampton

Before viewing detached homes, townhomes, or condos in Brampton, secure a mortgage pre-approval.

Pre-approval helps you:

  • Understand your true buying budget
  • Lock in today’s interest rate
  • Submit stronger offers
  • Show sellers you’re financially qualified

We connect Brampton buyers with trusted mortgage brokers across Southern Ontario.

Minimum Down Payment in Canada (2026)

Down Payment Rules

  • 5% on homes under $500,000
  • 10% on portion between $500,000–$999,999
  • 20% minimum for homes over $1 million

Many Brampton buyers put down 5%–10%, especially first-time buyers entering the market.

5% Down vs 20% Down – What’s the Difference?

5% Down Payment

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

20% Down Payment

  • No CMHC insurance required
  • Lower monthly payments
  • Stronger negotiating position
  • Larger savings required

We help you compare scenarios based on income, debt ratios, and long-term financial goals.

CMHC Mortgage Insurance Explained

If your down payment is under 20%, mortgage default insurance is required through providers such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Important points:

  • Insurance protects the lender
  • Cost is added to your mortgage
  • Premium depends on down payment percentage

Most first-time home buyers in Brampton use CMHC insurance to purchase sooner and refinance later.

RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP)

Under Canada’s Home Buyers’ Plan:

  • Withdraw up to $35,000 per person from your RRSP
  • Couples can access up to $70,000
  • Repay over 15 years
  • Tax-free withdrawal

This strategy helps many Brampton buyers increase their down payment without penalties.

Using Your TFSA for a Down Payment

You can withdraw funds from your TFSA tax-free at any time.

Many buyers combine:

  • RRSP withdrawals
  • TFSA savings
  • Gifted funds from family
  • Personal savings

We coordinate with your mortgage advisor to maximize purchasing power.

Closing Costs When Buying in Brampton

Typical buyer closing costs include:

  • Ontario land transfer tax
  • Legal fees ($1,500–$2,500)
  • Home inspection ($400–$700)
  • Title insurance
  • Mortgage insurance (if under 20% down)
  • Moving expenses

Modern Solution Realty provides $5,000 cashback after closing to help offset these costs.
