First Time Home Buyer? You May Be Eligible for a Tax Credit!First Time Home Buyers

Are you planning on making your very first real estate purchase sometime soon? If so, I would like to congratulate you as buying a home or condo for the first time is as exciting as it gets!

There are many benefits to buying a home versus renting such as increasing your asset base, being able to generate secondary income by renting a space and even receiving a tax credit as a first time home buyer to name a few.

Yes, that’s right; if you are a first time buyer, you might be eligible to receive a First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC) through Canada’s Economic Action Plan of $5000.00 to help out with initial costs such as disbursements, land transfer taxes, lawyer fees and others that may come up along the way.
