Federal, Provincial and regional governments have introduced First Time Home Buyers programs to help prospective buyers acquire the funds for a home downpayment. The Federal Government offers the Home Buyer's Plan (HBP) which allows RRSP holders to withdraw up to $20,000 from the Rrsp to use toward the purchase of a home. Learn more about HBP homebuyers plan. The RRSP issuer will not withhold tax on the withdrawn amount at the time of withdrawal. You can even use that amount to put toward the construction of a new custom built home. A townhome, duplex, triplex, semi-detached, single family dwelling, mobile home, or condominium all qualify as a home for this program. Rrsp contributions are a great way to make buying a home easier. Since interest rates are low and property values are rising, you may not lose any long term investment value by using Rrsp contributions.
Married couples may withdraw up to $20,000 each for this first time home purchase. Both must be first time home buyers and must occupy the home. Repayment of the withdrawn funds from rrsp must be repaid within 15 years.
CMHC Assisted Mortgages
The Federal government also operates National Housing Act mortgage assistance programs. You can apply for an CMHC NHA mortgage loan at any chartered bank such as Bank of Montreal, credit union, or trust company. Find out more about CMHC mortgages from our mortgage expert Nick Dimulkas. If you just need a little more help to qualify and raise the necessary funds or mortgage assistance, then your dream of owning a Mississauga home is a real possibility.

Real Estate Listings Mississauga
The problem with MLS real estate listings is that homes that are still available are the ones everyone is passing on. If a home has been on the market for a long time and is just not selling, there must be a reason. So just having your home appear on the multiple listing service may diminish its appeal for many discriminating buyers. Smart home buyers get in on great new homes for sale right away. Some are bought up before the advertised listing is seen by buyers.
Ontario offers the The Ontario Home Ownership Savings Plan (OHOSP). It was created to help first-time buyers get past the first hurdles of buying a home which is often the downpayment and other costs of buying. If your income is below $40,000 per annum (or if you and your spouse have a combined income below $80,000) then you are eligible to benefit from OHOSP. If you've never previously held a OHOSP, and over 18, you may be eligible. There is no limit to the amount of funds you may deposit in your OHOSP. You are limited on OHOSP tax credits on annual contributions of not more than $2,000 (or $4,000 per couple).
