First time home buyer

Post by blackball »

Hi:

I would like to understand which benefits my spouse would qualify as a first time home buyer. The situation is that she has never owned any real estate whereas I have ownership of a property that neither of us have lived in (we have lived in a rental since being married). I also lived in a property that I owned in the last four years prior to us being married/living together.

I believe that neither of us would qualify for the first time home buyer credit or land transfer tax rebate. However, she would qualify for the RRSP home buyers plan. Does this seem correct?

Thanks
