Canadians looking to buy homes valued over 500-thousand dollars will soon be required to come up with larger down payments. Federal finance Minister Bill Morneau says the change is designed to ensure stability in Canada's biggest real estate markets. But Morneau says that doesn't mean he's worried about price bubbles in Toronto and Vancouver. (Under the changes, home buyers will have to put a 10 per cent down payment on the portion of the price of a home over 500-thousand dollars. Anything under 500-thousand will still only require a five per cent down payment.)
