mortgages) and Saskatchewan.

Approximately half of first-time home buyers in Canada are able to source
their down payments from their personal savings
• 2014-16 data show 75% of buyers from that period have
25% or more equity
。 Partly reflects speed of rising house prices, but also stepped-up down
payment requirements and tightened mortgage rules
2014-16 data indicate only 39% of first-time home buyers
had less than 20% down
• Efforts to cool the housing market are working, which
implies moderating price appreciation
