First Time Buyers? It’s a Great Time to Buy a Home. It’s an Even Better Time to be a First Time Buyer! -Cheap Money! The lowest interest rates in years. I can offer qualified buyers access to rates as low as 3.75% fixed for 5 years or 2.15% variable for 5 years. At 3.75% for 35 years a $150,000 mortgage would cost you less than $650/month principle and interest! You’ll have a tough time renting an apartment for that little. Why not build your own wealth instead of your landlord’s. -A Buyer’s Market Increased inventory means increased buying opportunities, more choices, and better terms. First Time Buyers have the added advantage of not having to sell a house first. This puts you in an even stronger position to negotiate. -Distress Sales a byproduct of an economic downturn is an increase in the number of highly motivated sellers and bank owned properties. As a pre-approved buyer without a house to sell you are properly positioned to take advantage of these great deals. -Government Incentives First Time Buyers of New Homes used to receive a Land Transfer Tax rebate. This program has now been extended to new and resale homes and condos. You could save up to $2000. First Time Buyers are now entitled to use up to $25,000 each of RRSP money towards their downpayment with no tax withholding. First Time Buyers can receive a $5000 income tax credit.
