First time home buyers

First-time homebuyers are getting a leg up into the housing market.

Coming January 2017 – the new BC HOME Partnership contributes to the amount first-time homebuyers have already saved for their down payment, making ownership more affordable – and accessible – to thousands of British Columbians.

If you’re entering the market to buy your first home, the B.C. government is launching a new program to partner with you on the down payment for your mortgage, Premier Christy Clark announced today.

“We believe every British Columbian deserves a place to call home,” said Premier Christy Clark. “We’ve invested in affordable rental housing, we’ve invested in transitional and emergency housing, and now we’re partnering with first-time buyers to make the purchase of their first home more affordable.”
