PTT is only for property less than $525k, isn’t it? The buyer wishing to amend the contract is buying a detached in Burnaby worth $1.5-2M

FTHB exemption is great for buying an investment condo. I did the same thing and screwed up with my wife by putting both of our names down on our first property lol.

So basically you could avoid the taxes if your first home is a cardboard box.

We had a bit of back and forth negotiations on the price, but I think the sellers knew that our walk away price was going to be anything over that threshold and came down.

This wife is skirting around the capital gains for principal residence when the property is sold.

I remember when we bought our TH it was 521k and it was just over the PTT credit limit. They bumped it up soon after and it seemed like it made more sense. With the recent jump in prices the credit is all a joke again.

"Have never owned a registered interest in a property that was your principal residence anywhere in the world at any time"
If a spouse isn't on the title, they wouldn't have a registered interest in the property.

I think you are getting the policies mixed up, there's also the hbp that lets you take $35000 out of your rsp for first time home buying. That talks about spouse.
You are considered a first-time home buyer if, in the four-year period, you did not occupy a home that you or your current spouse or common-law partner owned.
Note
Even if you or your spouse or common-law partner has previously owned a home, you may still be considered a first-time home buyer.
If you have a spouse or common-law partner, it is possible that only one of you is a first-time home buyer.

Home Buyer's Plan (Federal) makes the stipulation about spouse.
The Property Transfer Tax exemption (provincial) does not make a stipulation about spouse.

But yea PTT waiver is basically useless as most young buyers these days thinks they are too good to live in a 30y old wooden shack for under the $525 threshold.
Yet they don't have the down payment or the income to buy that shack  | |

In other news I just bought a new place. Huge disparity in what mtg advisors were telling me. Like crazy shit. Without throwing out actual numbers, I had one mtg advisor tell me you need 160k/annual income for each 500k of mtg. And he said it was irrelevant what the downpayment on the property was. I told him he was retarded and went elsewhere, because based on what he was saying I would have been putting over 60% down to buy the place I wanted.
In the end I went with my preferred bank (BMO) where all my other accounts are. 5 year variable at 1.32. Glad to be rid of scotia where my previous mtg was, what a fucking cluster fuck they are. They make it impossible to do anything, and its a different person every single time you need to do anything. My experience with scotia was poor from beginning to end.

I also had a terrible experience with Scotia and the woman who was trying to push through our renewal was brutal, painfully slow to respond, useless in questions etc.
Then when we finally went into the branch to renew she was sick and we dealt with the lending manager who made everything a breeze and could do everything we asked on the spot (getting more money, extending HELOC, etc.)
In hindsight I would never go with Scotia for anything but since we were already with them made some sense to stay there
