…Take a look at the taxes, first. “If (government) is serious about reducing the consumer debt, they should look at mitigating the tax load that all levels of government place on new homes.”…[21]
New lending rules prompt questions on new-home tax If the government really wants to reduce Canadian consumer debt, it should look at reducing the tax load on new homes. Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson says it would be a good idea for government to review new-home er Finance Minister Jim Flaherty introduced more new lending rules on Canadian mortgages last week – the third time he has done so in three years.

Sandy beaches, stunning sunsets and fair weather. It can be hard to find a new home in the seaside city of White Rock, where the beaches and views are just some of the advantages of living in such a vibrant, close-knit community. With a population of 18,250, the oceanside city’s property values have “steadily increased due to White Rock’s attractive setting and amenities,” according to the city’s website. But one new home development gives homebuyers the chance to own a new condominium home with a White Rock address and enviable views for reasonable prices: Regency Court. “We are the only new woodframe construction in White Rock,” notes real estate agent Stewart Peddemors. Featuring four-storey lowrise woodframe construction, the stylish homes are designed with creative, open floorplans that maximize the living space in every unit. Located on Roper Avenue between Merklin and Best streets, the chic col-
