Ready to make your home-buying dreams a reality?
Join me, Jacquie McCarnan, as I guide you through the essential financial programs for first-time homebuyers in British Columbia.
I cover everything including:
the First-Time Home Buyers Incentive,
Homebuyer Amount tax credit,
GST Housing Rebate, and much more.
With the proposed increased RRSP withdrawal limits and the new First-Time Home Buyer Savings Account, you'll get the complete scoop on every resource available to help you secure your first home. Plus, hear my personal journey navigating Whistler's real estate market for some hands-on insights.
Ever wondered what it really takes to own a condo in Vancouver? Let's break it down together as I walk you through the costs of a $500,000 condominium, including down payments, mortgage insurance, and monthly budgeting tips.
Learn how to navigate additional costs like strata fees and property taxes, and understand the significance of aiming for a 20% down payment with insights from the Canadian Mortgage Housing Corporation.
I even sprinkle in a story about a fun visit to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and my love for pickleball (check out The Pickleball Chronicles!) to keep things light and relatable.
Tune in and get ready to be well-prepared for your home-buying adventure!
