Explaining the Tax Free Home Savings Account

Are you interested to have over $40,000 tax free dollars to put toward your home purchase? The federal government has unveiled the Tax Free Home Savings Account (FHSA) and the Multi Generational Home Renovation, Tax Credit (MGHRTC). We are discussing how to go about to set this up, the difference between (FHSA) the first time homebuyers plan and how this is very different from your RRSP’s. We also discuss a little bit about the federal governments, environmental tax credit to achieving net zero housing and its current challenges.

It Depends: February 2021 Market Trends

This month we are dissecting how Calgary's residential market, along with the surrounding areas: Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, and Okotoks, are coming out of the gate in 2021. We dive into how different styles of homes: Single Family, Semi-Attached, Row and Apartment, are doing year over year and look at what districts are performing and which are not. We also talk about economic variables that may help or hinder the recovery in Calgary and Alberta's economy. (Oil cresting over $60/barrel, interest rates under 1.4%, drop in inventory levels, potential job losses with increased M&A, first time buyers, long term change of working from home, and government support.)
