RRSP Home Buyers Plan

The Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) is a government program that allows home buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their Registered Retirement Saving’s Plan (RRSP) to put towards buying or building a new home.

Before you can withdraw funds, you have to be entered into a written agreement that specifies whether you will be buying or building your new home.  You also must occupy this space no later than a year after buying or building this new home.

To take advantage of this program you have to be considered a first-time buyer. You are not a first-time home buyer if you (or you and your spouse) has owned a home which you have occupied as your principal place of residence in the past 5 years.

Once those conditions are met each person can withdraw up to $25,000 tax-free from their RRSP for a new home. Couples, including common-law, can withdraw up to $50,000. You will not pay income tax on these amounts as long as these funds will be repaid into an RRSP in the future.

Existing homeowners can also use this program to purchase an accessible home or a home for a disabled dependent relative. The intended individual must qualify for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and this home must be more accessible or better suited to the care of this individual.

"We recently sold our home with Aaron and despite living 4 hours away, the process couldn't have been any more seamless! After a thorough evaluation was done to the home, it was conclusive that a ton of work needed to be done to the house, prior to selling. Aaron personally put in a tremendous amount of work and hours preparing our house for selling, from detailed cleaning, painting, exterior landscaping and maintenance just to name a few! Communication was flawless and any road bumps we encountered were always quickly rectified with alternative suggestions and guidance while our desires always remaining at the forefront of the final decision making. Aaron's tireless work ethic, business savvy mentality and extensive knowledge of the market, resulted in multiple offers and our home being sold within weeks, despite the slow down in market conditions. Aaron takes great pride in his work. He’s extremely meticulous, detailed oriented and possesses an undeniable charisma. You have exceeded our every expectation! We would like to thank you and the fantastic team of contractors for going above and beyond your scope of duties and making this an extremely stress free process! We would highly recommend Aaron's services to anyone looking to Buy or Sell!" -Melina & Natalie

I can't say enough about how fantastic Aaron was during our search for our cottage home!! He took to heart our concerns, our dreams and our determination to find the perfect place for us. Aaron spent hours researching different lakes, and the ins and outs of different areas so that we were very knowledgeable in making our final decision.
We are SO happy with our new property, and have Aaron to thank for being so patient , trustworthy and just as determined to find the perfect place for us!!
I've never met a realtor who cared as much as Aaron does about his client's happiness...Thanks again Aaron!! ~Craig and Carol
