π‘ Did You Know Your RRSP Can Help You Buy a Home in Surrey? π¦
The Home Buyer's Plan (HBP) is one of the most underutilized tools available to first-time buyers in Canada β and it could significantly boost your down payment.
Here's how it works:
β
Who qualifies?
First-time homebuyers (or those who haven't owned a home in the past 4 years). Those with disabilities or helping someone with a disability can access it at any time.
β
How much can you withdraw?
Up to $35,000 per person β or $70,000 per couple β tax-free from your RRSP.
β
What's the catch?
The funds must have been in your RRSP for at least 90 days. You have 15 years to repay the amount back into your RRSP, starting two years after the withdrawal.
β
Can you combine it with the FHSA?
Yes! Pairing your HBP withdrawal with a First Home Savings Account (FHSA) can give your down payment a powerful boost.
Want to understand how the HBP fits into your overall down payment strategy? Let's map it out together.
