Unfortunately, the way you characterize the definition of “first-time buyer” is not the definition that most of us would use. A first-time buyer is a person who is buying their actual first home.
I'm trying to get a number and I haven't been successful, even from other places. Out of the CMHC or secured mortgages, what is the actual percentage of people who are buying their first home. It would be similar to those who would get a rebate and those who would be eligible. They haven't owned a home in the last five years, and they're not buying their second home.
