Who we help in Bradford West Gwillimbury

We help Bradford West Gwillimbury households buy a first home, move up, renew or refinance. We compare banks, credit unions and monoline lenders (lenders that only do mortgages and work through brokers) first.

If you buy before your current home closes, a bank bridge loan can cover the gap once your sale is firm, subject to lender approval. Alternative lenders are the next step when a bank's rules don't fit, at a higher cost. Private money is a short bridge only, and we explain its cost first.

Questions from Bradford West Gwillimbury borrowers

Do I pay Toronto's land transfer tax in Bradford West Gwillimbury?

No. Bradford West Gwillimbury is outside the City of Toronto, so only Ontario's land transfer tax applies.

Illustrative, not a quote: on the September 2026 median Bradford West Gwillimbury sale of $895,000, Ontario's tax is $14,375, or $10,375 if you qualify for the full $4,000 first-time buyer refund (TRREB median and ontario.ca brackets, checked October 2026).

This is our arithmetic. 0.5% of the first $55,000 is $275, and 1% of the next $195,000 is $1,950. Then 1.5% of the next $150,000 is $2,250, and 2% of the last $495,000 is $9,900.

Your lawyer works out the exact amount at closing.

I'm buying in Bradford West Gwillimbury before my current home sells. What are my options?

A bridge loan, if your sale is firm. Many banks offer one to cover the gap between the two closings, subject to lender approval. If the sale is not firm yet, we talk through the risks before you commit to buying.

Is there down-payment help in Bradford West Gwillimbury?

Not for new applicants right now. The County of Simcoe's Affordable Homeownership Program, open to residents of the County including Bradford West Gwillimbury, lends up to 10% of the price as a loan forgiven after 20 years. It has a waiting list and is not taking further applications (County of Simcoe, checked October 2026).

Its limits, from the 2025–2026 brochure: the home costs $799,000 or less, household income is $129,200 or less, and personal assets are $50,000 or less. You must rent now and not own a home.

The federal and Ontario first-time buyer measures still apply: the FHSA, the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan and the land transfer tax refund.
