Yahoo Finance How CMHC could help you buy a $1.25M home
Anyone trying to buy a home that costs a million dollars or more in Canada needs a 20 per cent downpayment because buyers in that price range don’t qualify for CMCH mortgage insurance.

We’ve been getting monthly updates from the ground floor from Realosophy Realty’s John Pasalis and Oakwyn Realty’s Steve Saretsky, who help make sense of it all, with advice for anyone buying or selling a home.
They they say it’s a big policy that could have a big impact.
