Before closing, Ontario buyers need cash for deposit, land transfer tax, legal fees, and adjustments, not just mortgage payments and the down payment.
Ontario’s minimum down payment rises as a home’s price climbs, and smaller down payments can trigger mortgage insurance added into monthly payments.
Ontario buyers need land transfer tax paid in full at closing, and the deposit is only an upfront portion of the total down payment.
Ontario requires a Real Estate lawyer, often budgeted near ~$2K, and buyers should also expect closing adjustments for prepaid taxes, condo fees, or fuel.
Eligible first-time buyers may access provincial rebates, including a full HST rebate on new homes through Late-Q1 2027, and pre-approval can prevent financing surprises.
