FAQs

Buying a Home in Oshawa Common Questions

What is the minimum down payment to buy a home in Oshawa?

In Oshawa, the minimum down payment depends on the purchase price: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion between $500,000 and $999,999, and 20% on homes priced at $1,000,000 or more (which are not CMHC-insurable). For example, a $700,000 home in Oshawa requires a minimum down payment of $45,000 (5% on $500k + 10% on $200k).

How does mortgage pre-approval work when buying a home in Oshawa?

Mortgage pre-approval in Oshawa involves a lender reviewing your income, debts, credit score, and assets to determine the maximum mortgage you qualify for. lendsimpl issues same-day pre-approvals by shopping 50+ lenders simultaneously. A pre-approval rate hold locks your rate for up to 120 days, protecting you while you house-hunt in Oshawa.

What is the mortgage stress test for buying a home in Oshawa?

The federal mortgage stress test requires Oshawa homebuyers to qualify at the greater of their contract rate plus 2%, or 5.25%. This ensures you can afford payments even if rates rise. lendsimpl walks every Oshawa buyer through stress test calculations upfront so you know your real purchasing power before you start shopping.

What closing costs should I budget for when buying in Oshawa?

Typical closing costs for Oshawa homebuyers include: land transfer tax (provincial + Toronto municipal if applicable), legal fees ($1,500–$2,500), title insurance (~$250), home inspection ($400–$600), and moving costs. Ontario first-time buyers may qualify for a land transfer tax rebate of up to $4,000 provincial and $4,475 Toronto municipal.

Is lendsimpl licensed to provide mortgage services in Oshawa?

Yes. lendsimpl is a FSRA-licensed mortgage brokerage (Brokerage #13763) serving all of Ontario including Oshawa. Our licensed agents provide free, unbiased mortgage advice — we are paid by the lender, never by you.

Fixed or variable rate for my home purchase in Oshawa?

The best choice depends on your risk tolerance, timeline, and the current rate environment. Fixed rates offer payment certainty for the full term — ideal for first-time Oshawa buyers. Variable rates have historically outperformed fixed over long periods but carry more payment risk. lendsimpl compares both scenarios for your exact situation before you decide.
