Happy March 2015! We always love to share ways to save money, especially when it comes to your home.
The Real Esate Board of Greater Vancouver regularly compiles all the different programs a property buyer or owner can take advantage of that may offset housing costs or put a little money back in your pocket. It's a helpful tool that summarizes the scope of a program, who/how to contact, and also provides links for more information.
