Stacking the FHSA and RRSP Home Buyers' Plan

The two best down-payment tools for Kamloops first-time buyers stack. The First Home Savings Account gives you up to $8,000/year ($40,000 lifetime) of RRSP-style tax deductions that come out tax-free for a home, like a TFSA. The RRSP Home Buyers' Plan adds up to $60,000, repaid over 15 years. Two spouses can each use both — up to $200,000 of tax-advantaged down payment for one household. Against a typical Kamloops purchase price, that's often the difference between an insured 5%-down file and a stronger 20%-down position. We build the contribution and withdrawal timing into your pre-approval.

What the stress test means for your Kamloops budget

Every federally regulated lender qualifies you at the greater of your contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — so a 4.39% offered rate is tested at 6.39%. That's the figure that sets your real maximum, not the rate on the brochure. We run your file at the qualifying rate before you write an offer, so your pre-approval holds when it matters and you don't fall in love with a Interior BC listing you can't actually finance. Some credit unions qualify on the contract rate, which can stretch your budget — we tell you when that's the smarter lender.
