HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Check Your Credit Score A good credit score helps secure better rates. Aim for a score of 680 or higher, but even if your score isn’t perfect, you still have options.
Understand Your Budget Before applying, determine how much you can afford. Your mortgage payment should be no more than 30% of your gross monthly income, factoring in taxes and insurance.
Save for a Down Payment While 20% is typical, many loans allow less. Aim for at least 5-10%, but know that your down payment will affect your monthly payments.
Know Your Loan Options Explore fixed-rate, variable-rate, and understand your pre-payment options and penalties. Each has pros and cons depending on your financial goals.
Get Pre-Approved Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and shows sellers you’re serious. It’s an essential step before house hunting.

Consider Your Financial Stability If you have are on a fixed income and need the reassurance of staying on budget, a fixed-rate mortgage may be best, providing consistent payments. If your income can handle fluctuations, a variable-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage could work.
Evaluate Your Long-Term Plans Plan to stay in the home for a long time? A fixed-rate mortgage offers stability. If you’re planning to move in a few years, a variable-rate mortgage might save you penalties if you need to break your mortgage early.
Amortization This is the lifespan of the mortgage. They typically range from 25 to 30 years. A shorter amortization means higher payments but less interest over time. A longer amortization means lower payments but more interest.
Look for Programs You Qualify For There are programs like the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), and Home Buyer Plan (HBP) among others that can help you save.
Work with a Trusted Expert A mortgage expert can help you compare options and find the best fit for your specific situation, saving you time and money in the long run.

Get Your Finances in Order Review your credit score, save for a down payment, and gather documents (pay stubs, bank statements) for the mortgage application.
Know What You Can Afford Factor in not just the mortgage but also property taxes, strata fees, homeowner’s insurance, heat and maintenance costs. Aim for a home within 30% of your gross monthly income.
Get Pre-Approved Speak to a mortgage expert and get pre-approved. This step shows sellers you’re serious and helps set your budget for house hunting.
Start House Hunting Consider location, amenities, and whether the home meets your long-term needs. Don’t forget to get an inspection to ensure the home is in good condition.
Review Loan Options & Closing Costs Compare mortgage types and interest rates. Be aware of closing costs (2-5% of the home’s price), and make sure you’re comfortable with the total investment.

It depends on your needs! A mortgage broker works with a variety of lenders and can help you find the best deals, especially if you have unique circumstances or want more options.

A bank, however, will only offer their own products, which can be limiting. If you’re looking for more personalized options, a broker might be the way to go.

But if you already have a solid relationship with your bank and prefer working directly with them, that could be a good option too! Ultimately, it’s about finding what works best for you..
