The 2 big things, increasing the rrsp amount from 25 to 35k. How many of you have 35k on rrsps?

More importably the second part where they are helping with a small loan on the purchase. You only qualify with a household income less than 120,000, and the price of the home can't exceed 4 times your gross income. How many people with a household income under 120k are even close to being in the market, but secondly, how many homes in Vancouver selling for under $480k?
You know what will help?
