Can You Afford The Valley – Woodbridge?

Homes in Woodbridge are now around $1.8M to $2.2M+.

That sounds big.

But when you break it down simply, it becomes much easier to understand.

Let’s walk through it step by step 👇

📍 What Is The Valley – Woodbridge?

The Valley is a new community in Woodbridge (Vaughan).

• Detached homes (40’ and 45’ lots)
• Quiet, family-friendly area
• Close to highways, parks, and schools
• Built by trusted builders

👉 This is not a starter home.
👉 This is for families upgrading their lifestyle.

💰 Step 1: How Much Do These Homes Cost?

• Lower price: ~$1.8M
• Higher price: ~$2.2M+

🏦 Step 2: How Much Money Do You Need Upfront?

Deposit (Paid During Build)

You don’t pay everything at once.

You pay slowly:

• $50,000 with offer
• Then $20,000 every few weeks

👉 Total deposit: ~$210,000

Down Payment (Total Required)

You need 20% down:

• $1.8M home → $360,000
• $2.0M home → $400,000
• $2.2M home → $440,000

👉 You already paid $210K deposit
👉 You pay the rest when you close

🧮 Step 3: Monthly Mortgage Payment

(3.49% rate, 30 years)

• $1.8M home → ~$6,600/month
• $2.0M home → ~$7,300/month
• $2.2M home → ~$8,100/month

🏠 Step 4: Other Monthly Costs

Owning a home is more than just mortgage.

Property Taxes (Vaughan)

• About $900 – $1,375/month

Utilities + Insurance + Maintenance

• About $850 – $1,250/month

💸 Step 5: Total Monthly Cost (Simple)

🟢 $1.8M Home

👉 ~$8,400/month

🟡 $2.0M Home

👉 ~$9,500/month

🔴 $2.2M Home

👉 ~$10,400/month

🧾 Step 6: Closing Costs (One-Time)

When you get the keys, you pay extra costs:

• Builder costs: ~$28K – $31K
• Land transfer tax + legal

👉 Total closing:
~$65K – $90K+

🧠 Step 7: How Much Income Do You Need?

Now the big question 👇

👨‍💼 If You Are Employed (T4 Income)

Banks look at your salary.

Rough income needed:

Home PriceIncome Needed

$1.8M~$180K – $210K

$2.0M~$200K – $240K

$2.2M~$220K – $280K+

👉 Usually 2 people working together
👉 Stable job helps a lot

👨‍💻 If You Are Self-Employed

This is different.

Banks don’t just trust your income.

They look at your business bank statements.

📊 What Lenders Look At:

• Money coming into your account
• Consistency (same income every month)
• Business stability

💡 Simple Rule:

👉 If your business shows:

• $15K/month deposits → you’re in range for ~$1.8M
• $18K–$22K/month → ~$2.0M+ range
• $22K+ consistently → $2.2M+ range

⚠️ Important for Self-Employed:

• Taxes filed low? → harder to qualify
• Clean bank statements? → easier approval
• Less debt = more buying power

🧠 Why Buyers Still Buy Here

Even at $2M+, people are buying because:

• Woodbridge is a premium area
• Detached homes are limited
• Prices tend to rise long-term
• Closing is in 2027 → more time to prepare
