Federal tax credit

Can I use FHSA + HBP together?

Yes — you can combine both programs. That's up to $40,000 from your FHSA (tax-free) + $35,000 from your RRSP via the Home Buyers' Plan = $75,000 in combined tax-advantaged funds toward your down payment. Our advisors will walk you through how to maximize both.

CMHC Insurance

See your CMHC premium instantly

When you put down less than 20%, CMHC adds an insurance premium to your mortgage. It's not paid upfront — it's rolled into your balance. Use the calculator to see what applies to you.

Broker vs. Big Bank

Why Greenhouse beats going to your bank

A mortgage broker shops your deal across dozens of lenders — at no cost to you. Your bank only ever offers one product. Here's how it plays out in practice.

"Used my FHSA and RRSP together — I didn't realize how much I had saved up until our advisor walked me through it. We put 15% down on a semi in Etobicoke. Closed in 18 days."

"Vancouver is expensive, but the team found us a great 5-yr fixed with a monoline lender we'd never heard of — 0.5% lower than what TD quoted us. That's real money saved."

"I was two years out of a consumer proposal and didn't think I'd qualify anywhere. They got me a private bridge for 9 months, then moved me to a conventional at renewal. Exactly as planned."
