2015 CMHC First-Time Homebuyers Survey [Infographic]

Katherine Martin • November 13, 2015

For many Canadians, buying their first home is the single, largest purchase they will ever make. CMHC’s First-Time Homebuyers Survey provides valuable information about this group with insights into their buying behaviours and preferences.

In April 2015, CMHC completed an online survey of 788 First-Time Buyers from across Canada. All respondents had undertaken a mortgage transaction in the past 12 months and all were one of the prime decision-makers within their household for matters relating to housing finance and mortgages.

If you are looking to buy your first home and are looking to be among the 43% of people who were totally satisfied with their broker experience, contact me anytime! I would love to work with you and make sure you get the best mortgage product available! And if you have lots of questions, don’t worry, I have lots of answers. I love working with first-time homebuyers!
