FAQ

The First-Time Home Buyer Incentive is a shared-equity mortgage with the Government of Canada. In Ontario, the program offers:

  • 5% or 10% for a first-time buyer’s purchase of a newly constructed home
  • 5% for a first-time buyer’s purchase of a resale (existing) home
  • 5% for a first-time buyer’s purchase of a new or resale mobile/manufactured home

If you have not owned a house in the last four years that you live in or that your current spouse or common-law partner owned, you are considered a first-time home buyer in Ontario.

According to CHMC, your monthly housing costs, including mortgage payments and utilities, should not exceed 35% of your income. Staying within this range will help ensure you can afford your home and keep up with other monthly expenses.
