What, if any, financial benefits are there for me if I consider a new Mini Home, as my first home?

As a new mini home buyer, you potentially qualify for thousands of dollars in government rebates/incentives for your new home. These include a $3,000 rebate from the provincial gov’t to help first time home buyers invest in a newly constructed home, as well as the Canadian Home Buyers’ Plan that allows you to withdraw up to $35,000 from your registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs), the GST/HST New Housing Rebate for purchases of newly constructed homes, and the EnergyStar – Efficiency NS Rebate.
