FTHB/PTT/E LIM INCREASES TO $425M

Good Morning,

The Government has issued amended First Time Home Buyers requirements.

The qualifications for the exemption have changed. A first time home buyer can now qualify for a full exemption with a purchase price of less than $425,000.00 (previously $375,000.00).

A partial exemption is available if the purchase price is more than $425,000.00 but less than $450,000.00.

Also, there is no longer a requirement for any financing.

For more information, please see:

THANK YOU.
