Combine your financial strengths and find the neighborhood that fits your lifestyle.
Buying as a couple means combining two incomes, two FHSAs and two HBPs — often enough to aim bigger or better located. Many couples without children favor a condo or a property near downtown, transit and neighborhood life. AcheteurFuté helps you align your finances and priorities, together.
Two FHSAs (up to $40,000 each) and two HBPs (up to $60,000 each) can build a substantial down payment. The coach calculates your combined capacity.
Lenders combine your two incomes and debts in the TDS/GDS ratios. The calculator shows what you can realistically aim for together.
Cafés, restaurants, culture, public transit: set your priorities and the neighborhood analysis rates each area for your shared lifestyle.
A condo cuts maintenance but adds condo fees; a house offers room for the future. The coach quantifies both scenarios with your numbers.
Set your shared criteria and each property gets a weighted compatibility score — neutral ground to decide together, without friction.

Compatibility score
Weighted by your shared criteria to decide together.
Yes. Each partner can hold their own FHSA (up to $40,000 lifetime) and use it for the same purchase, provided they qualify as a first-time buyer. Together, that can be a sizable down payment. The coach models your combination.
Not necessarily. The split (50/50 or based on each person's contribution) is set in the notarial deed and can reflect unequal down payments. It's a personal and legal decision: the coach raises the questions, and the notary makes it official.
A condo appeals for its urban location and low maintenance; a house offers more space and appreciation potential. The right choice depends on your budget, lifestyle and plans. AcheteurFuté compares both with your real numbers.
Rather than a fixed list, AcheteurFuté rates neighborhoods against your priorities (transit, restaurants, culture, proximity to work) so you can objectively compare the areas that fit your pace.
Smart thinking: you can factor this into your criteria (extra bedroom, neighborhood with schools, expansion potential). The coach helps you balance today's needs with tomorrow's.
