The money
Down payment minimums, the stress test, and the two ratios lenders actually qualify you on. Plus the FHSA and Home Buyers’ Plan combination most first-time buyers should be running.
The breaks
The first-time buyer PTT exemption and exactly where the threshold sits, the newly built exemption, and the $50,000 GST rebate that became law in March 2026.
The deal
How an offer is actually built, how to win without simply paying more, the three-day rescission period, and a closing cost worksheet you can fill in.
