First purchase in Gatineau: where to start?
Becoming a homeowner for the first time is exciting and sometimes stressful. I help you through every step: budget, neighbourhood, offer and process.
What every first-time buyer needs to know
Down payment and budget
For a house, condo or duplex you live in (under $1.5M), the minimum down payment is 5% on the first $500,000 of the price and 10% on the portion above. We look together at your borrowing capacity and the programs available to first-time buyers.
The right property type
Condo in Hull or semi-detached on the Plateau: each option has its advantages for a first purchase in Gatineau.
The process in Québec
The notary and the mandatory OACIQ forms set the Québec process apart from the rest of Canada. I guide you through every step.
Avoiding beginner mistakes
A few pitfalls: buying too fast, forgetting closing costs, skimming the inspection report or choosing an area that doesn't fit your plans.
