The $10,000 BC First – Time New Home Buyers Bonus ends soon.

The clock is ticking on the BC First-Time New Home Buyers’ Bonus. It is a one-time bonus payment worth up to $10,000 for first-time new home buyers in BC, but it expires March 31st, 2013. This means that to qualify, ownership or possession of a new home must be completed before April 1st, 2013.
“We have 4 homes right now that are ready for occupancy and can meet the tight deadline before the expiry of the $10,000 government incentive and this is really the icing on the cake for a first time buyers of a Woodland Creek home,” says Blair Robertson co-owner of Totangi Properties the developer of Woodland Creek, winner of the 2012 CARE Award for Best New Subdivision and Built Green Builder of the Year. Our homes are Energuide rated +80 which also qualifies them for special financing rebates from CMHC for energy efficient homes. In addition, the geothermal heating and air conditioning saves home owners over $1,000 a year in energy costs and reduces carbon emissions. We think it is the smartest value proposition in todays real estate market.”
Award winning Woodland Creek homes have also earned the Power Smart designation and are Built Green Certified Gold. All combined, this means new home buyers can be assured they are making a wise investment and one that will have a lasting value when it comes to resale. New homes built by 2012 Built Green Builder of the Year SC Smith Building Co, complete with fenced and landscaped yards and loaded with features start at $369,900 net HST.
