The homebuyers program gives low-interest loans for downpayments for first-time homebuyers earning less than 80% of the area median income ($45,100 per year for an individual in 2010).
The province is also doubling the first-time homebuyers' maximum land transfer tax refund to $4,000 and is introducing its carbon cap and trade system.
First-time homebuyers who don't have a big cash down payment may find a starter home in these places, especially if they wait until after the busy spring and summer season.
