Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Land Transfer Tax is the Ontario provincial schedule, before any first-time buyer refund; only the City of Toronto charges a municipal land transfer tax on top, so none applies in the areas this site covers (Ontario Ministry of Finance, ontario.ca/document/land-transfer-tax, as of October 28, 2026). Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
