The biggest challenge for most homebuyers is acquiring the money necessary for a down payment.
For first time buyers, the monthly payments of a mortgage are more than affordable; often less than their current monthly rent payment. But because of the high cost of renting, saving up for the minimum down payment of 5% of the purchase price is an obstacle that is so hard to overcome. This can put young people and families in an endless rental loop.
Even Canadians who are not buying their first home, but rather looking to upsize or change neighbourhoods, the fees associated with buying and selling combined with the effort to save cash is challenging. It is not really a measure of affordability, but rather cash flow.
Free Money? That Can’t Be True!
The Your New Home Finder Genuine Free Gift is a tool to get you into your certified new home faster. When you use Your New Home Finder website to connect with the country’s top builders and select a Certified New Home, you are eligible to collect the Genuine Free Gift of 2.5% of the purchase price of your home applied directly to your down payment. It is free money, a gift intended to help you overcome the obstacle of the significant amount of cash required to qualify for a mortgage.
Our goal is to help unlock home ownership so everyone has the security of owning their home.
We use the term GENUINE FREE GIFT in accordance with Canada Mortgage Standards. This term means that when a Gift is received and it isn’t a loan, there is no repayment required and there is no attachment to the equity of your home – it is a GENUINE FREE GIFT.
Canadian mortgage companies and mortgage default insurance companies require you to have a minimum of 5% cash payment as your mortgage down payment. If any portion of this down payment is a Genuine Free Gift, it must be declared.
Our 2.5% gift is a Genuine Free Gift which means that no repayment is required or expected. We also do not require or maintain any equity (ownership) in your home. Once your free gift is applied as part of your mortgage down payment, and you take possession of your Certified New Home found on the Your New Home Finder website, your dream of homeownership is realized.
How Does It Work?
The process to take advantage of the 2.5% Genuine Free Gift is really quite simple.
- Step One: When you decide to purchase one of the Certified New Homes from our Your New Home Finder website, you begin the qualification process to receive our Genuine Free Gift of 2.5% of the purchase price of your home as part of your obligatory mortgage down payment.
- Step Two: Inform your New Home Builder that you found your home on our website.
- Step Three: Qualify to receive your Genuine Free Gift by completing your mortgage approval for your Certified New Home, through the lender of your choice. Ensure that the mortgage company is aware that you are receiving a Genuine Free Gift and then remove all conditions on the Offer-To-Purchase of your Certified New Home.
- Step Four: That’s it! You are the owner of a Certified New Home constructed to the standards and quality of our network of new home building members. You have unlocked home ownership and the stability and security of owning your own home are now yours!
Once you complete the above steps, we transfer your Genuine Free Gift to the law firm of your choosing. On possession day, your lawyer will disburse your Genuine Free Gift as part of the obligatory down payment of your mortgage.

To be eligible to receive the Gift, the following must apply:
- The home buyer can be an Nth time home buyer - you can be a first time buyer or a seasoned buyer.
- The recipient(s) must qualify for a new first mortgage on the New Home found on our website and receive approval from a mortgage provider and remove all conditions on the New Home's Offer to Purchase and take possession of the New Home.
- The recipient(s) can only receive one 2.0% Gift per home purchase.
- Based on each individuals ability of getting mortgage approval, the recipient(s) must provide a minimum requested downpayment from traditional sources (such as savings, withdrawal/ collapse of a registered retirement plan/fund) as per the first mortgage lender/mortgage broker who are providing the approval. If the lender/mortgage broker allows, then this amount will be added to the Gift of 2.0% to make up the total mortgage downpayment. If not, we provide you with your Gift after you take possession of your New Home.
- Based on the requirements of the first mortgage lender/mortgage broker, they may require you to have more than 5% to 18% as your base, saved deposit from traditional sources.
- No total qualifying annual income is required for our Gift Recipient(s). This measurement is for the provider of the mortgage approving your mortgage.
Yes, the first mortgage lender/mortgage broker will determine what your individual downpayment will be for any specific home or price range. Presently CMHC, Genworth and Canada Guaranty require that your 5% to 20% downpayment must come from you, your RRSPs or your parents. They feel that if you use our Genuine Free Gift as part of your downpayment, that you wont have enough "skin-in-the game" and are a higher risk to default. Due to this, we do not offer our Genuine Free Gift as part of your mortgage downpayment, unless it takes you up to or above a 20% downpayment where you do not require default insurance.
Based on individual requirements of the first mortgage lender/mortgage broker, they may require you to just have 5.0% from traditional sources (such as savings, withdrawal/ collapse of a registered retirement plan/fund or parental gift) or they may require you to have more than 5.0% as your base, saved deposit from traditional sources. When you are in this lower percentage downpayment, we provide our Free Gift after possession of your home, so it is not part of your approval process - however, you are welcome to use our Gift to pay back your RRSP contributions or repay mom and dad for their assistance.
- Step One: When you decide to purchase your New Home posted on our website, you begin the qualification process to receive our Genuine Free Gift of 2.0% of the purchase price of your home.
- Step Two: Inform the Home Seller and advise that you want to receive our Gift.
- Step Three: Qualify to receive your Genuine Free Gift by completing your mortgage approval for your New Home, through the lender of your choice. Upon receiving mortgage approval, then remove all conditions on the Offer-To-Purchase of your home.
- Step Four: We transfer the Gift to the law firm's trust account. On possession day, the lawyer will disburse the Gift as per their instructions.
The home can be refinanced without any issues concerning the Genuine Free Gift. The Gift is a one-time genuine gift to you and has no attachments to your new home or the mortgage on it.
No, because you receive your Genuine Free Gift after you take possession of your New Home, it is not part of the mortgage approval process - even if you are using the Gift to repay your RRSP contributions back, after using them for your downpayment.
If you have 18% as a downpayment and want to use our Genuine Free Gift of 2% to give you a 20% downpayment, then you should inform the mortgage company.
