CIBC Mortgage CashBack Offers Provide Greater Flexibility to Toronto Homebuyers
TORONTO, Dec. 4 /CNW/ - CIBC (CM: TSX; NYSE) - A mortgage cashback offer from CIBC gives homebuyers in Toronto the flexibility to allocate these funds to pay the new Toronto Land Transfer Tax - or to offset other closing expenses related to purchasing their home. Clients want a choice when it comes to their mortgage cashback offer. Some may use it to pay the new city tax, while the significant number of Torontonians who are not affected by this levy can put it towards lawyers' fees or household purchases such as furniture or appliances. Buyers with certain closing or purchase agreement dates and first-time homebuyers may not have to pay the new city tax in full or at all, said Raza Hasan, Senior Vice President, Mortgages and Lending, CIBC Retail Markets. "These buyers are more likely to require cash back on closing for household purchases instead of the new land transfer tax and want the flexibility to use the funds based on their individual needs," he said. CIBC advises all homebuyers to take a broad view of their closing costs and the expenses related to moving into their new home before deciding which mortgage offer is right for them, since each person's situation is unique.
