Comparing Down Payment Scenarios for Townhouse Closing Costs
The list price is only part of the story.
For most people buying a home in Toronto, the biggest shock isn’t the monthly payment—it’s the five- or six-figure sum you need just to get the keys.
In this breakdown of a beautiful Humber Bay Shores townhouse listed at $1,268,000, I outline the two most common scenarios:
- A minimum down payment purchase.
- A 20% down payment purchase.
The critical number isn’t just the down payment. It’s the total cash required to close. For the minimum down scenario, that’s over $144,000. That’s the clarity you need before you even make an offer.
My commitment is to provide a five-star experience, and that starts with a credible, detailed budget. No surprises.
