$200,000 most couples don't know they can use.
You might already have the down payment. It is sitting in accounts you were told were for something else, and the rules quietly changed in your favour. We put all of it on two pages, in plain words. Tell us where to send it.
- Two accounts most couples already have can now put up to $200,000 toward a first home, tax-free. Nobody sent a letter about it.
- The rules quietly changed in your favour: a longer mortgage means a smaller monthly payment, often the whole gap between "not yet" and "now".
- Parents can help without writing a cheque. There are three ways, and most families never hear about two of them.
- It is two pages. You will read it in the time it takes to finish a coffee, and you will know your number.
What the map gives you
- Where the money sits: every source a first-time buyer can use this year, in plain words.
- The rules that changed the payment, and what each one means for you.
- Three ways parents help, no cheque required.
- A free 15-minute review with one of our mortgage partners, if you want it. No pressure, no forms.
The map does not tell you to buy. It tells you what you can actually use, right now, so the decision is a real one instead of a feeling. Most people who read it find out they are closer than they thought.
