See what I can afford

Figuring out what you can afford is the first key step in the home-buying process. While lenders can prequalify you for a mortgage, affordability calculators provide you with a rough estimate of how much they may loan you. With a sound estimate of how much mortgage you can commit to, you can begin to look at listings within that price range.

Get my credit score

If you’re thinking of securing a mortgage, a good credit score is important – lenders will take your credit score into consideration to help them decide on how reliable you are with borrowing money. It plays a key role in securing not only your mortgage, but also a low interest rate on your loan.

Calculate my mortgage

Your mortgage comes with two key components: the principal and the interest rate. The principal indicates how much you are borrowing from your lender to buy your home, while the interest rate refers to how much your lender is charging you on your outstanding balance.

This mortgage payment calculator can help you estimate how much your monthly payments will be.

Get pre-approved

One of the most important steps in the home buying process is choosing your lender and securing your mortgage.

Lenders can pre-approve you for a loan by investigating your credit history to determine if you would be a suitable candidate. To get pre-approved, you can provide lenders with your financial information and certain details about your purchase.
