The government is assisting with up to 5% of the down payment on resale homes as a loan to you and up to 10% of the down payment on new homes. Applicants must have a household income of under $120,000.
The loan funds are given to buyers interest free. The funds will need to be paid back as a percentage of the sale price once the home is sold. Or if the home is kept for the long term, then the funds must be paid back within 25 years.
100,000 Canadians are projected to be assisted with the new program.
