How much do I need for a downpayment?

If your home will be owner-occupied, you need at least 5% down for the first $500,000 of the purchase price, and 10% for any amount over $500,000 up to $999,999. If the purchase price is $1,000,000 or more, the minimum down payment is 20%.

You will need at least 20% down if you are buying a rental property. (Certain individual circumstances may change the amount – contact me for more details.)

Below are some approximate amounts:
