Financial Assistance Programs for Your Property Purchase

Explore financing programs to become a homeowner more easily. With my in-depth knowledge of options such as the HBP, the 40 km Program, and the FHSA.

Let's Talk About Your Real Estate Project

FHSA (First Home Savings Account)

FHSA's Objective:

To improve savings capacity for the purchase of a first property, particularly useful for accumulating a down payment.

This program is especially beneficial for those with good savings capacity or family support, looking to become homeowners of their first house in Canada.

HBP (Home Buyers' Plan)

Using RRSPs: Allows you to withdraw up to $35,000 from your RRSP to buy your first home without paying tax on the withdrawal.

Repayment: You must repay the money to your RRSP over the following years, with a minimum of 1/15th of the amount withdrawn each year. The first repayment can be made within a period of 2 years and 61 days to 3 years and 58 days after the withdrawal.

40 km Program

Moving and Tax Savings: If you move for a new job or transfer to another municipality, and your new residence is at least 40 kilometers closer to your new workplace, you could deduct moving expenses, including real estate brokerage fees.

Eligibility: Notary fees and transfer duties of the new residence can also be deducted if the old residence is sold and a new one is acquired. Eligible individuals who failed to claim these deductions can request a retroactive refund up to 10 years after the move."
