IBoth the government of Canada and the Ontario government have established programs to assist first time home buyers. The two best known programs are the RRSP Home Buyer's Plan and the Land Transfer tax Rebate program.
Land Transfer Tax is reduced by up to $2,000 for first time homebuyers in Ontario. You can calculate your land transfer tax on our website. Note: there is a premium if you live in Toronto.
In addition to information about the programs to assist first time home buyers, we have also added a paragraph with tips. If you are buying a home, your real estate sales representative can help you find the right type of home at the right price, prepare your offer to purchase, and present your offer to the seller. In most cases, there is no direct cost to you for these services.
Effective January 27, 2009 the federal government set up a new program for first time home buyers that gives a $750 tax credit to help offset closing costs.
