Thinking about buying a home someday — but not quite ready yet?
Good news: the best time to open a First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is actually before you’re ready to buy!
I’m Walter Monteiro from the Maximum Results Team, and here’s why opening an FHSA early is a smart move:
✅ Save up to $8,000/year (max $40,000)
✅ Tax-deductible contributions — like an RRSP
✅ Tax-free withdrawals for your first home — like a TFSA
✅ Growth inside the account is tax-free
✅ Not sure you’ll buy? You can roll funds into your RRSP/RRIF tax-free
Even if you’re just starting out, this is one of the best, safest ways to build your future down payment. And if you have a partner? You can each open one and double your advantage. 🙌
Most banks can open an FHSA for you quickly — no stress, no pressure. Start now, let your savings grow, and put yourself in the best position to buy when the time is right.
