A mortgage broker in Waterdown costs $0. Brokers are paid by the lender when your mortgage closes, not by you. The rate you get is the same or better than going directly to that lender.

The median detached home in Waterdown is approximately $1.05M in 2026. Standard family homes across Waterdown Village and Mountainview run $950K-$1.25M, newer subdivisions push past $1.3M, and townhomes / semis range $800K-$950K.

Yes. Physicians, dentists, and residents working at Hamilton hospitals - McMaster, St. Joe's, Juravinski, and Joseph Brant in Burlington - all qualify for physician-specific mortgage programs. These programs accept contracts and offer letters, ignore student debt, and often allow higher loan amounts. Craig specializes in physician financing across the Waterdown / Hamilton / Burlington area.

Depends on your timeline and cash flow. New builds offer HST rebates, customization options, and no bidding wars - but deposits are staggered over 2-3 years, and construction delays are common. Resale homes let you close in 30-60 days with a fixed purchase price. Craig helps new-build buyers structure their financing to account for long close dates and interest rate uncertainty.

Rates in spring 2026 range roughly 4.0-4.5% for 5-year fixed and around 4.35% for variable, depending on your profile, term, and property type. Insurable mortgages typically get the best rates. A broker shops the full market and shows you the actual rate you qualify for based on your specific file, not a generic advertised number.

It depends on what you value. Waterdown typically costs $200K-$400K less than comparable Burlington homes, offers more space and newer builds, and has easy highway access. Burlington offers established neighbourhoods, the lakefront, and more amenities. Craig helps clients run the numbers on both options to see which actually makes more sense for their situation.

Yes, on homes under $500K (which is rare in Waterdown). For most Waterdown homes in the $950K-$1.2M range, you need 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the rest, plus CMHC insurance. On a $1.05M home, that is $80,000 minimum down. Homes $1.5M and above require 20% down and cannot be insured.

Pre-approval takes 1-2 business days. Once you have a signed purchase agreement, final lender approval typically comes in 5-10 business days. The full close from offer acceptance to keys is usually 30-60 days. Craig handles all the paperwork and chases the lender so you do not have to.
