30 Year Mortgages are back.
Starting August 1st, first time home buyers purchasing new home will be allowed to obtain a 30 year amortization instead of 25 years which will help lower your monthly mortgage payments. There are a few catches.
1. Can not be a new build or spec home
2. First time buyer will be anyone who has not owned a home in the last 4 years.
There is also a change to RRSP withdrawals for first-time home buyers. The limit presently is a max withdrawal of $35,000 per person. This is being raised to $60,000. This will take effect April 16th.
Any question, feel free to contact us.
