An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties, whether for relaxation, wealth-building, or special family moments. Even non-winterized or remote locations now offer accessible mortgages with low rates, making it easier for individuals to purchase their dream getaway home. Different lending criteria apply to second or third homes compared to primary residences, and the down payment requirements vary depending on the type of vacation or secondary home. Some properties may qualify for a minimum of 5% or 10% down payment, while others may require 20% or more. Mortgage options also depend on whether the property is categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal. To assist with the financing process, innovative tools are available in Canada to simplify and ensure accuracy.
