Let's talk it through
Smart mortgage tools

Clear numbers before the lender conversation.

Estimate the big moving parts for mortgage payments, affordability, first-time purchases, reverse mortgages, refinances, debt consolidation, and co-buying support.

Uses Canadian down payment tiers and Ontario land transfer tax rebate assumptions, with a province selector for broader estimates.
Affordability estimates use a stress-test rate and common 39% GDS / 44% TDS guideposts, then Sean confirms the real lender fit.

Mortgage payment and closing cost calculator

Compare purchase price, down payment, mortgage insurance, monthly payment, and land transfer costs. Ontario is selected by default, with other provinces available for a first-pass Canadian estimate.

Ontario LTT plus optional Toronto MLTT.

FHSA

Contribute up to $8K/year and $40K lifetime toward a first home.

RRSP for a first home

Eligible buyers may withdraw up to $60K without immediate tax through the Home Buyers' Plan; repayment rules apply.

Federal tax credit

The Home buyers' amount is non-refundable; the benefit depends on the tax year and tax owed.

30-year option

First-time buyers may be able to use a 30-year insured amortization to lower the monthly payment.

Ontario/Toronto

Eligible first-time buyers can receive up to $4K Ontario and up to $4,475 Toronto LTT rebates.

Educational estimates only, not tax, legal, financial, or mortgage advice. Eligibility, rebates, RRSP withdrawal rules, rates, and lender terms must be confirmed before acting. No approval or tax benefit is guaranteed. The starting 3.7% variable rate is an assumption, not a rate offer; interest is compounded monthly. Insured amortizations over 25 years require first-time buyer or eligible new-build status; a 0.20% premium surcharge is included. Closing taxes shown are not total closing costs.

A few common questions

Do I need a property first?

No. Reviewing income, savings and costs before house hunting helps establish a realistic budget.

How do I start?

Call, text or email your goal. You do not need all your financial figures ready for an initial conversation.

Is a calculator result an approval?

No. Income, credit, property details and lender requirements still need review.

When is a reverse mortgage repaid?

Repayment may be triggered by sale, the last borrower moving out, the last borrower dying, or default, depending on the contract. Access is usually up to 55% of home value, depending on age, property and lender; it is not guaranteed.
