MARKET UPDATE

NEW GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES TO ASSIST FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS

First-time homebuyers purchasing newly built homes will be allowed 30-year amortization periods on insured mortgages, the federal government recently announced. The move is scheduled to take effect on August 1st. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland also recently declared that the government is increasing the amount first-time buyers can withdraw from their RRSPs to purchase a home from $35,000 to $60,000. This change became effective on April 16th – which was the date that the recent federal government budget was tabled. In addition, for withdrawals made between January 1st, 2022 and December 31st, 2025, individuals will be given five years to begin repayment rather than the original two. These changes are part of the government’s bid to make home ownership a reality for younger Canadians rather than just a dream.

REALTOR

How long have you been working in real estate?

In October, it will be 14 years since I started my real estate business.

What attracted you to this business and how did you get started?

Real estate is in my blood. My family has been in the industry for decades, and I was drawn to the business from a very young age. After university, I had the great opportunity to join the family business, and had excellent mentors, which helped me further my education and learn the ins and outs of the industry.

LUKE O’REILLY BROKER

What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?

My real estate business gives me the opportunity to have a direct impact on the financial well-being of my clients, which brings a lot of responsibility and requires hard work and dedication to achieve exceptional results. I’m passionate about helping my seller clients maximize their investment with the highest sale price possible, while helping my buyer clients secure a great deal when they find the ‘perfect’ home. Treating each transaction and situation as though I’m handling my own personal asset is the way I approach each client and situation.

Is there a particular area you specialize in, either in terms of neighbourhoods, or types of homes, or perhaps the type of clients you like to work with?

I work with buyer and seller clients in all price ranges. Geographically, I focus primarily on the Greater Hamilton & Burlington areas. In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?

Our team is focused on providing our clients with a first-class level of customer service. Our hand-selected group of professionals are results-driven. We utilize cutting-edge technologies to market our properties and have a step-bystep process for both buyers and sellers to ensure their purchase or sale experience is straight-forward and as stress-free as possible. We have a well-diversified marketing strategy to ensure our listings get proper market exposure and focus on building quality relationships with our clients.
