🚨 FINALLY! The biggest roadblock to building a prefab home in Canada just got eliminated. 🏗️👇
If you’ve ever looked into modular or prefab homes, you know traditional banks struggle to finance them. Lenders want the house on the foundation before they release the funds... but the factory needs to be paid before they ship it. It’s been a massive Catch-22 for buyers.
Not anymore. Enter the CMHC Prefab Plus program. 🇨🇦
This is a massive win for homebuyers wanting an energy-efficient, fast build, AND it’s a game-changer for modular manufacturers.
Here are the exact details you need to know:
✅ The Down Payment: You can build with as little as 5% down (for the first $500k, and 10% for the remainder up to $1.5M).
✅ The "Game Changer" (Funding Advances): The program allows up to 4 progressive funding advances. This means you can draw mortgage funds to pay your manufacturer upon delivery of the home to your lot. No more massive out-of-pocket cash gaps!
✅ Build Flexibility: It covers full turnkey modulars dropped on a permanent foundation, hybrid panelized packages assembled on-site, and even single-wide manufactured homes.
✅ Who Qualifies: Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents, and non-permanent residents legally authorized to work in Canada.
✅ The Rules: The home must be a new build, built to CSA standards or provincial building codes. The property must have year-round vehicular access, and the maximum purchase price/as-improved value cannot exceed $1,500,000.
Easier financing means faster builds and more housing options for Canadians. 🏡✨
