The assumptions behind these numbers
Every figure assumes a 5.19% interest rate, 20% down and a 25-year amortization. Property tax uses the local municipal residential rate of 4.56 per $1,000; strata ($320/mo) and insurance ($62/mo) are estimates, since neither is knowable from rent alone. Change any of these in the calculator and the numbers update in place. This is an estimate for comparison, not a mortgage approval or financial advice. Your rate, down payment and the home's real carrying costs will differ. Confirm with a mortgage professional before you rely on it.
Common questions
What can $2,500 a month in rent buy in Colwood?
At a 5.19% rate with 20% down over 25 years, $2,500/mo carries the mortgage on a home priced around $527,000. Covering tax, strata and insurance inside the same budget, the matching price is about $405,000.
How much do I need for a down payment?
On a $527,000 home at 20% down, the down payment is $105,000. A smaller down payment raises the monthly cost and may add mortgage insurance.
Is the mortgage really the same as my rent?
The mortgage payment is, by design; that is what this page solves for. Owning also adds roughly $582/mo in tax, strata and insurance, so the honest all-in monthly on a $527,000 home is closer to $3,082.
