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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aaron Albright as my real estate agent to sell my investment property, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his outstanding service. From start to finish, Aaron demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, positivity, and a sincere dedication to ensuring the success of our venture.

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Aaron was his upfront and honest approach. From our initial consultation, it was evident that Aaron's integrity was unmatched. He provided transparent communication, never sugarcoating any aspect of the process. His sincerity instilled trust and confidence in my wife and me, making us feel comfortable every step of the way.

What truly sets Aaron apart is his willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. He didn't just list our property and wait for offers to come in – he rolled up his sleeves and got to work. Aaron meticulously inspected the house, made insightful recommendations for improvements, and even took on the responsibility of planning, cleaning, and rebuilding aspects of the property to enhance its appeal.

Aaron's vision for presentation was nothing short of exceptional. His keen eye for detail ensured that both the exterior and interior of the house looked absolutely magnificent. Thanks to his efforts, my wife and I found ourselves marveling at the transformation, almost tempted to move back in ourselves!

Throughout the process, Aaron never once pressured us to make decisions we were uncomfortable with. Instead, he encouraged us to make economical choices when investing in renovations and preparing the house for sale. His guidance was invaluable, helping us maximize the property's potential while staying within our budget.

One of Aaron's greatest assets is his vast network of high-quality technicians who offer reasonable prices. Whether it was a repair person, installer, or contractor, Aaron had a reliable professional ready to tackle any task. His connections saved us time, money, and hassle, ensuring that every aspect of the property was in top condition.

Aaron made the entire sales process simple and easy to understand. He advocated tirelessly on our behalf, ensuring that our best interests were always prioritized. Even after the sale was finalized, Aaron surprised us with a thoughtful cashback gift, further exemplifying his generosity and commitment to client satisfaction.

My wife and I are Aaron's biggest fans, and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone embarking on their real estate journey. With Aaron by your side, you can trust that the stress and worry will be kept at bay, leaving you with more money in your pocket and a lasting sense of gratitude for his exceptional service.

"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
