New Mortgage Options

30-year amortizations now available for all first-time buyers and new construction. Insured mortgages up to $1.5M with as little as 5% down.

First-Time Buyer Benefits

Property Transfer Tax exemption on homes up to $835,000. New build exemptions up to $1.1M. Combined savings can exceed $15,000.

Investment Timing

Current buyer's market conditions + Broadway Subway completion 2027 = optimal entry timing. Properties near future stations offer highest appreciation potential.

Foreign Buyer Restrictions

Federal ban extended to 2027. BC's 20% foreign buyer tax remains. This has reduced speculation and created current buyer-friendly conditions.
