Down Payment Stacking for First-Time Buyers | Your Mortgage Minute
Down payment stacking for first-time buyers is one of the most useful strategies in the twenty twenty-six Canadian market. In this episode of Your Mortgage Minute, Sarah and Mouli break down how to combine the First Home Savings Account, the Home Buyers’ Plan, gifted funds, and closing-cost planning into one practical purchase roadmap. They explain why the minimum down payment is only part of the story, how much cash you really need to close, and how to avoid the common mistake of using every dollar just to qualify. You’ll also hear real examples for six hundred thousand dollar and seven hundred fifty thousand dollar purchases, plus a simple framework for deciding whether you are ready to buy now or should keep building your stack. If you are a first-time buyer in Toronto, the GTA, or another high-cost Canadian market, this episode gives you the numbers and structure to plan your next move with more confidence.
