FAQ

Calculator questions

How do I calculate return on a pre-construction home?

Compare the projected value at closing with the purchase price, then divide that gain by the deposits you paid before closing. Because deposits are often only 10–20% of the price, a modest rise in value can be a large percentage return on deposits, and a fall can wipe out more than your deposit. Add closing costs, carrying costs and rent to see the full picture.

What appreciation rate should I use for Erin?

There’s no reliable forecast. Neighbouring markets such as Halton Hills, Brampton and Orangeville rose about 50–60% over the last ten years (roughly 4–5% a year) but are 7–14% below their 2021–22 peaks, and Erin’s resale prices have fallen since 2023. Try several scenarios, including zero and negative growth.

How is the mortgage payment calculated?

We use Canadian semi-annual compounding on the amount you finance at closing (price minus your total down payment), at the rate and amortization you choose. Your lender’s actual payment may differ slightly.
