Thinking About Co-Signing A Mortgage? Read This First!

More Canadian parents are helping their adult children enter the housing market by co-signing mortgages. ????

For many first-time buyers, a co-signer can make the difference between qualifying and continuing to rent. In fact, recent data shows the share of first-time buyer mortgages with parental co-signers has grown significantly over the past two decades.

But co-signing isn't just a signature on paperwork. Both the buyer and the co-signer become financially connected to the mortgage, making it important to understand the responsibilities, risks, and long-term impact before moving forward.
