HOME OWNERSHIP - A GREAT INVESTMENT!

According to a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation study, resale house prices rose faster than inflation in 23 of 27 major Canadian cities. As your principal residence, any gain you make on the sale of your home is tax-free. And the power of leverage magnifies that return even more since you've earned those gains on your down-payment, not on the purchase price. If you buy a $450,000 house and five years later it's up 5%, you've made 1% a year, but that assumes you paid cash for your house. With a 25% down-payment, you've really earned 4% a year tax-free on the money you invested. And if you buy a house with only 10% down, over five years your annual tax-free return is 10%. Of course, if you can avoid it, never buy a house with the smallest possible down-payment, as mortgage interest is not tax deductible. But when tax-free capital gains are added to the power of leverage, Real Estate remains a good investment.
