The same villa or townhouse can be either - if you pay fees to a condo corporation, it is condominiumized; some communities just have an HOA; many have neither. It changes the paperwork, so check before you assume. Condo apartments are always condominiumized, so this picks itself.

Where is the down payment coming from? (tap all that apply)

Savings RRSP (Home Buyers' Plan) FHSA Gifted Sale of my current home Investments Line of credit / borrowed Inheritance

Does any of this apply? (tap all that apply)

Here's the thing about being prepared

Two free government accounts and one evening of downloads separate the fifteen-minute pre-approval from the three-week paper chase. The lender does not care which borrower you are - but the seller of the house you want absolutely does. In a competitive week, the prepared buyer wins the house.

General information for Alberta borrowers, not tax, legal, or financial advice. Government portals, programs, fees, and processing times change without notice - verify current details with the CRA, Service Canada, and Alberta Land Titles directly. Program figures (Home Buyers' Plan, FHSA) reflect rules at the time of writing. Every mortgage file is different: what a lender requires for yours may differ from these lists.
