Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Tax-free income.
  • Retain home ownership.

Cons:

  • Interest accumulates over time.
  • Reduces the equity left for heirs.
  • May affect eligibility for certain benefits.

Local Context

In Metro Vancouver, with an average home price of $1,200,000, many seniors find Reverse Mortgages an effective way to supplement their retirement income without downsizing.

How to buy Stanley Park with a Reverse Mortgage

Ever dreamed of owning Stanley Park? At roughly 1,000 acres, Vancouver’s beloved green space would conservatively cost around $3 billion—give or take a few million squirrels. With Vancouver’s average home price at about $1.2 million, you’d only need reverse mortgages from about 2,500 friends’ homes to make the deal happen! While coordinating thousands of friends might prove tricky, one thing is clear: a Reverse Mortgage can certainly help you unlock enough equity to feel like you’ve secured your very own corner of paradise—minus the upkeep of feeding those squirrels.

Eligibility & Requirements

  • Age: 55 years or older.
  • Home Ownership: Must own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance.
  • Primary Residence: The home must be your primary residence.
  • Property Type: Eligible property types include detached homes, townhouses, and certain condos.
