Budget 2017—BCREA News Release
Vancouver,BC – February 22, 2017. On the heels of multiple governmentannouncements in 2016 and early 2017, the British Columbia Real EstateAssociation (BCREA) welcomes the latest: an increase in the Property TransferTax exemption threshold for first-time buyers, announced in Budget 2017. Theincrease, to $500,000 from $475,000, takes effect today.
BCREA appreciates this government’s attention to the needs offirst-time homebuyers. To keep pace with the dynamic real estate market andensure that homebuyers aren’t left behind, the Association strongly believesthat this threshold—and all others related to the Property Transfer Tax—shouldbe indexed, with adjustments made annually.
During Minister de Jong’s budget consultation in January,BCREA recommended that the first-time buyer exemption be increased to $750,000.That number would align with the exemption for newly-built homes and with theBC HOME Partnership program. This measure would have expanded consumer choices,because the First Time Home Buyers’ Program exemption applies to all homes,rather than only newly-built homes, which are often out of reach of first-timebuyers.
BCREA also looks forward to learning more about the provincialgovernment’s plans to partner with local governments to increase housingsupply. Specifically, the Association supports incentives that result in fasterhousing and development approval processes, as well as increased density offamily-oriented homes along transit corridors.
