It’s all about location! This awesome (and large) 4 bedroom house is situated on the iconic tree-lined boulevard in the beautiful Northend of Halifax. Just walking distance to the historical Hydrostone neighbourhood shops and restaurants. Excellent layout, with 3 BR upstairs and one on main level (that could substitute as an office or den). Full bath on every floor. Spacious and bright kitchen. Hardwood floors. New heat pump (2022). Excellent back yard space, flat, shaded and fully fenced in, ideal for families with small children or pets. This is a great opportunity to live in one of the best neighbourhoods in our growing city.

Borrow less than you’re allowed

Your housing costs shouldn’t be more than 32% of your gross income. Housing costs include mortgage principal and interest, taxes, heating expenses and half of your condo fees.
Find out the home-related costs you can afford each month. Calculate your gross debt service ratio.
Your total debt (for housing, cars and credit cards) shouldn’t be more than 40% of your gross income.
Find out the maximum debt load you can carry each month. Calculate your total debt service ratio.
But borrowing this maximum amount can be risky. If your income drops, your expenses increase or interest rates rise, you may have trouble making your payments. Take on a smaller mortgage so that your housing costs stay within your means.

We are thrilled to announce that after advocacy and collaboration with Housing Nova Scotia, the Down Payment Assistance Program has had significant changes made to it.

Changes include increases to the total maximum market value of a home under the program:

- Halifax Regional Municipality: $500,000 (up from $300,000)
- Northern and eastern regions (Cumberland, Colchester, Pictou, Antigonish, Guysborough and Cape Breton) and Yarmouth region: $300,000 (up from $200,000)
- Annapolis Valley/South Shore: $375,000 (up from $200,000).

Other changes include increasing the total household income eligibility to $145,000 across the province, up from $75,000 and providing five per cent down payment to all applicants.

These changes will allow more Nova Scotians to achieve their dreams of home ownership. See full details: https://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20220620003
