Tips for Buying in Toronto

💡 Understand Condo Fees

Toronto condo fees typically run $0.50-$0.80/sq ft monthly. A 600 sq ft condo may have $350-$500 monthly fees. These reduce your buying power—factor them into your budget from the start.

💡 Follow Transit Expansion

Properties near future Ontario Line and Eglinton Crosstown stations will likely see appreciation. Research the route maps and consider areas benefiting from improved transit.

💡 Compare Neighborhoods Carefully

A $700K condo in Scarborough offers significantly more space than the same price downtown. Decide what matters most—size, location, or transit access—before searching.

💡 Review Condo Documents

Always request and review status certificates for condo purchases. Check reserve fund health, upcoming special assessments, and rental restrictions. We recommend lawyers experienced in condo transactions.

What is the best 5-year fixed mortgage rate in Toronto?

The best 5-year fixed mortgage rate available in Toronto is currently 3.94%. This rate is available through select lenders for well-qualified borrowers with strong credit (680+) and at least 20% down payment.

How much do I need to buy a home in Toronto?

The average home price in Toronto is $1,120,000. For resale homes over $1 million, you need at least 20% down ($224,000).

Condos averaging $715,000 offer a more affordable entry point. Use our mortgage calculator to estimate your monthly payments at current Toronto rates.

Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage rate in Toronto?

In Toronto's current market, the best 5-year fixed rate is 3.94%, the 3-year fixed is 3.84%, and the best variable rate is Prime minus 0.95%. Fixed rates offer payment stability—important for Toronto buyers with larger mortgages. Variable rates can save money if the Bank of Canada continues adjusting rates. Your mortgage broker can model both scenarios based on your Toronto property and budget.

Should I use a mortgage broker or bank in Toronto?

A mortgage broker in Toronto compares rates from 50+ lenders—banks, credit unions, and monoline lenders—at no cost to you. Major banks in the area include TD Canada Trust, RBC, CIBC. Brokers typically save Toronto borrowers 0.25-0.50% compared to posted bank rates, which on a $800,000 mortgage saves $10,000-20,000+ over a 5-year term.

How do I get pre-approved for a mortgage in Toronto?

Getting pre-approved for a Toronto mortgage takes 24-48 hours. You'll need government ID, proof of income (pay stubs, T4s, or business financials if self-employed), bank statements, and a credit check. Pre-approval locks in your rate for 90-120 days at today's 3.94% fixed rate, confirms your budget, and shows Toronto sellers you're a serious buyer. It's free and doesn't commit you to a lender.

What first-time buyer programs are available in Toronto, Ontario?

First-time buyers in Toronto can access several programs: the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) for up to $40,000 in tax-free savings, the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan ($60,000 tax-free withdrawal), extended 30-year amortization on insured mortgages (new construction or homes up to $1.5M), and the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit ($1,500). Ontario first-time buyers also save up to $4,000 with the Land Transfer Tax rebate (up to $8,475 in Toronto). A Toronto mortgage broker can help you maximize all available incentives.

What is the minimum down payment for a home in Toronto?

For homes under $500,000, the minimum is 5%. For homes between $500,000-$999,999, it's 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the remainder.
