Each of the programs have qualifying criteria for first-time buyers, however, if you qualify these are great incentives for those entering the real estate market for the first time.

  • Tax credits for both Provincial (PLTT) and City of Toronto (TLTT) land transfer tax.
  • Tax Credit on costs related to purchase.
  • RRSP’s can be used for down payment.

Buying A Pre-Construction Home

When you first walk into the sales office to buy your first home, it can be a daunting experience.   However with your real estate agent’s expertise, knowledge, and guidance walking you through the steps, the process proceeds smoothly.  It’s important to know:

  • The track record of the builder.
  • What features and finishes are included with your new home.
  • What are the total closing costs in addition of the purchase price.
  • Is the H.S.T. included?  (based on what criteria)
  • What is the actual closing date, or occupancy date.
  • What does the occupancy fee include, . . . and more, . . .

These are all important questions that you will review and discuss with your real estate agent during the qualifying process.  Home ownership is something we all dream of, and by calling Truman Realty Inc., we hope to make it an enjoyable experience.
