Steps to Buying a House in Canada

54% of Canadians plan to buy a home in the next five years. Homeownership requires commitment, financial readiness, and clear motivation. Key steps include assessing if owning suits your lifestyle, improving finances, saving a down payment (5%-20% depending on price), exploring government programs, setting a realistic budget, getting mortgage pre-approval, and working with a full-time real estate agent to find and bid on homes within your means.
