Purchasing a home....
Tips to make sure you are financially ready
If you’re like most Canadians,
your home is probably the
most important investment you
will ever make. But how do
you know if you are financially
ready for all the responsibilities
that come with homeownership
To help you avoid any
unpleasant surprises, Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation
(CMHC) offers the
following tips on how to assess
your current financial situation,
calculate your monthly
expenses and determine how
much house you can afford:
FIRST, CALCULATE
YOUR NET WORTH.
Your net worth is the total
of all of your assets (including any investments,
savings, properties, vehicles and other assets you
own) minus your liabilities (such as any mortgages,
car loans, personal or student loans, credit
cards or other debts). Your net worth will give
you an accurate snapshot of your current financial
situation, as well as an idea of how large a
down payment you can afford.
Next, calculate
your current
monthly expenses
to determine what
kind of mortgage
payment could
comfortably fit
into your budget.
Your monthly
expenses include
your current housing
expenses (such
as rent, utilities,
parking and other
fees) as well as all
other regular, nonhousing
related
costs (such as cable
TV/Internet, debt
payments, insurance,
car fuel and
repairs, clothing, medical and dental costs, child
care expenses, groceries, entertainment and other
expenses).
Once you have a clear picture of your financial
situation, figure out how much you can
afford in monthly housing costs.
As a general rule, your total monthly housing
costs (including mortgage principal and interest,
taxes and heating) shouldn’t exceed 32 per cent
of your gross household monthly income. In addition,
your entire monthly debt load (including
mortgage payments, car or student loans, and
credit cards) shouldn’t be more than 40 per cent
of your gross household monthly income.
If you have made all the necessary calculations
and feel you are ready, it can be a good
idea to select a lender and ask them to pre-approve
you for a mortgage.
Getting pre-approved lets you know in advance
what price range you should have in mind
when you are shopping for your new home.
For most people, the hardest part of buying
a home – especially a first home – is saving
for the down payment.
With CMHC mortgage loan insurance, you
can purchase a home with a down payment of
five per cent of a home’s price.. To find out more,
contact CMHC or talk to your lender.
