Money & Life 01: The single homebuyer

How does a young single woman take the plunge to buy her first home? In this 12- minute podcast from the Police Credit Union, you’ll hear from Lisa, who describes how she managed this major purchase – including the ever-important down payment. Lisa also tells us how she furnished her home, how she handles repairs and maintenance, and why good neighbours have helped to make her new place a joy.

If you’re thinking of buying a home, talk to us at the Police Credit Union about your mortgage needs. Like Lisa, you may be eligible for the Home Buyers' Plan, which allows you to withdraw up to $20,000 from your registered retirement savings plan to buy or build a qualifying home.
