How It Works
The Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) is a government program that allows home buyers to withdraw up to $25,000 from their Registered Retirement Saving’s Plan (RRSP) to put towards buying or building a new home.
Before you can withdraw funds, you have to be entered into a written agreement that specifies whether you will be buying or building your new home. You also must occupy this space no later than a year after buying or building this new home.
To take advantage of this program you have to be considered a first-time buyer. You are not a first-time home buyer if you (or you and your spouse) has owned a home which you have occupied as your principal place of residence in the past 5 years.
Once those conditions are met each person can withdraw up to $25,000 tax-free from their RRSP for a new home. Couples, including common-law, can withdraw up to $50,000. You will not pay income tax on these amounts as long as these funds will be repaid into an RRSP in the future.
Existing homeowners can also use this program to purchase an accessible home or a home for a disabled dependent relative. The intended individual must qualify for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) and this home must be more accessible or better suited to the care of this individual.

If you’re a buyer looking in Morrison under the $2.5M mark, you may be finding your options to be a little…complicated. At this price point, properties tend to fall somewhere along the axis of land or house. Finding one where you have a compelling case for both is considerably harder. So, first things first. Buy on the best street you can afford. This is where Donlea delivers. A genuinely quiet street, beautiful homes, right at the heart of the neighbourhood and with schools close enough for the children to walk themselves. Frankly put, it’s ideal. Then there’s the land. With a new survey available, this west-backing 93’ x 185’ lot with stream offers the potential to build approximately 5,200 sq. ft. For those looking to create their forever home, it’s a rare opportunity to secure a substantial piece of land in one of Oakville’s premier neighbourhoods. But it would be remiss not to acknowledge that there is also a great deal of house here to love - and renovate. The existing 3,263 sq. ft., four-level side-split is surprisingly generous, with large bedrooms, a double garage and plenty of scope to reimagine the spaces. Think contemporary interiors, wall-to-wall windows and a seamless floorplan, all while retaining the scale and character that make this house work. A fantastic opportunity for those who want to control their budget while creating equity. In other words, you have options. Build new. Renovate. Or simply take your time and decide what makes the most sense for you. With this kind of flexibility, the upside is yours to create.
