Everyone's talking about how expensive Canadian real estate has become. Almost no one is talking about how badly the average Canadian is underusing their First Home Savings Account.

The average FHSA balance in Canada is just $3,899 — nowhere near the $40,000 lifetime limit, and nowhere near enough to actually move the needle on a down payment. If you're not maxing out your FHSA, you're giving up tax deductions, tax-free compounding, and real home-buying leverage.

In this video, Laurent Munier from Safe Pacific Financial walks through three specific strategies to grow your FHSA faster and set yourself up for a stronger first home purchase.
