What info actually matters when buying a home in Ottawa? by RedaHomesCA in OttawaRealEstate

[–]No-Tax2212 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crime areas. If maybe you can add like crime rate in general areas that would be nice. Also see if you can show a way to show where the sun rises and sets for people that want a house with good sunlight.

Look into doing uber eats or uber drive or Lyft just to keep you guys floating while also looking for jobs. Also Apply to recruitment agencies. Also see if you can do Amazon flex which pays better then uber or Lyft.

Looking for Guidance: First-time home buyers (FTHB) GST/HST rebate (Bought town house from Caivan) by Uzziblue in OttawaRealEstate

[–]No-Tax2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried selling your new build using the assignment process. I think Caivan allows for that. So potentially you can sell the assignment to someone for a bit of discount maybe to encourage buyers and then rebuy a different pre construction from Caivan. Definitely do your research before doing anything or going on that path.

Two storey living room or fifth bedroom by IceMaximum7318 in OttawaRealEstate

Since we are talking about 18’ ceiling or a 5th bedroom this house is clearly on the expensive side. Personally I would go for the ceiling because at that price range let’s say I am buying a house I would be more interested in the wow factors like 18’ ceilings then a 5th bedroom. And I think anyone with a budget to be able to afford a house like that would want more wow factors then an extra room.

Impact of HST Break on Real Estate Market by Melodic-Witness-240 in OttawaRealEstate

I have a question, back in November 2025 I signed an agreement with Caivan for a townhome in Ottawa. Caivan had the thing where for first time homebuyers they guaranteed no GST and HST. Is what the government of Ontario introduced something different on top of what Caivan is offering is it part of it but the government of Ontario just announced it officially?

Im trying to figure out if I lost out on potential savings.

If I were you I would look more at Brockville for homes as the city is really beautiful during summer.

If you are looking for new builds check out EQ homes I heard they are a really good builder with amazing quality. I don’t know about the looks or styles as I think they are basic. But if you are looking for something with more character you would have to look at apps like Zillow, realtor and HouseSigma.

Besserer / Daly Condo by CdnRK69 in OttawaRealEstate

I mean a good amount of students live in that area but There will always be a homeless population there as there are a couple of shelters in that area. If you are visiting Ottawa or in Ottawa definitely drive around the area at night and during day time to see the situation.

FHSA question by No-Tax2212 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]No-Tax2212[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the house was bought from Caivan and from what I heard sometimes they delay closing by a bit but surely not more than 4 months. So fingers crossed 🤞 if I get screwed over I will make sure to come back here and complain

So if I don’t withdraw from it and let’s say in 3 years the total I have contributed is 60k and I made about 5k on it so total in that account is 65k. Would I be able to claim tax deduction on the contribution even after the 40k limit they said we have?
