With the cooling off of the housing market across most of Canada in 2023. The federal government has introduced the new Tax-Free First Home Savings Account on April 1st. The Account is a new registered plan to give prospective first-time home buyers the ability to save up to $40,000 on a tax-free basis. The Account works like a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) as contributions will be tax-deductible, and withdrawals to purchase a first home -- including from investment income - will be non-taxable, like a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). First-time home buyers will be able to contribute up to $8,000 annually to a lifetime maximum of $40,000. Unlike an RRSP account, the funds withdrawn do not need to be paid back.

Who is eligible?

To open an FHSA, you must:

- Be an individual resident of Canada.

- Be at least 18 years of age.

- Be a first-time home buyer, which means you, or your spouse or common-law partner (“spouse”) did not own a qualifying home that you lived in as a principal place of residence at any time in the year the account is opened or the preceding four calendar years.

1) Furnace Inspection:
Have your furnace serviced and ducts cleaned (every 2 years)
• Stock up on furnace filters and change them frequently. It is good practice to write the date changed on the furnace filter for a reminder – Move the dial on your humidifier from Summer to Winter, make sure the humidifier filter is clean or replace it.


2) Check the Exterior, Doors, and Windows:
• Inspect externally for exposed entry points around windows, doors, pipes etc and seal them.
• Inspect and replace (if needed) weatherstripping around doors to prevent cold air from entering the home.


3) Prevent Plumbing Freezes:
Winterize all external faucets and drain via the bleed valve, keep off until spring.
• Locate your water main in the event you need to shut it off in an emergency. It is always good practice to turn off water when on vacation.
• Turn off the power and cover your air conditioner unit.
• Insulate exposed plumbing pipes.


4) Clean Gutters and Siding:
• Prevent "ice dams" - clean out gutters, remove all debris trapped in gutters.
• Pressure wash siding - use low pressure to avoid damage to paint and siding.


5) Leaving your home in winter:
Turn off the main water supply to the home.
• Have a friend/fay member go into the home to check every 2/3 days or as per your insurance requirements.
• Keep the heating at a minimum of 16 degrees at all times.

5 Tips To Help Achieve Your Homeownership

(some creative planning and resourcefulness)

1. Reduce your overall debt load beforehand: Outstanding car loans, credit cards and lines of credit will reduce the mortgage amount you qualify for. Eliminating these debts first will increase the mortgage you are able to obtain.

2. Increase the amount of your down payment: The more money a borrower has available upfront, the less of a mortgage they need to qualify for.

3. Consider joint ownership: Buying a home with a trusted friend or family member who wants to invest in real estate or get into their own place can lessen the purchase burden. Two (or more) people with income on the application equates to a higher mortgage that you can qualify for.

4. Take in a roommate to prevent being house poor: If you qualify for the mortgage amount you need, but are concerned about ongoing maintenance costs, then income from a roommate(s) can provide a solid emergency fund. Set the rental income aside so that the money is available for upgrades or the inevitable repairs every homeowner faces

 5. Get rid of your car: If you want to own a home in the city, you can free up room in your budget by eliminating your vehicle costs. Owning a vehicle is a significant financial investment, consisting of much more than a monthly loan or lease payment. There are also the added costs for insurance, parking, maintenance and repairs.

These projects will infuse life into largely empty or under-utilized office buildings by converting empty office space to new residential units.

In addition, this project will include an amenity lounge located midway through the building, providing residents with a modern common floor featuring games areas, a workspace area, a kitchen/bar area, lounge seating, and an outdoor BBQ space, as well as a rooftop patio.

 205 9 Avenue SE

The 205 9 Avenue SE project is a conversion of an estimated 110,000 square feet of vacant office space, into a mixed-use residential tower. The building’s office space would be converted to 113 new homes, along with a full floor of amenities to serve the residential units.

 909 5 Avenue SW

The 909 5 Avenue SW project is a conversion of ~104,000 square feet of office space, into a mixed-use residential tower.
