Ilsa, The Young First-Time Buyer
Zown provided $10,200 in assistance, helping this young homebuyer achieve their dream years sooner
Meet Ilsa
Summary
Ilsa, a goal-driven 24-year-old serving in the Canadian Naval Reserves, always dreamed of owning a home. Renting since she moved out for school, she found herself stuck in a frustrating cycle of rising rent costs and an unattainable housing market. Although she had been saving diligently, she felt overwhelmed and uncertain about how much longer it would take to afford a home. When her rent increased yet again, Ilsa decided it was time to take action.
How We Helped
Ilsa discovered Zown after seeing an ad and realizing there might be a way to break free from the endless saving cycle. With Zown's Upfront Down Payment, she received the boost she needed to turn her dream into reality. Working with a dedicated agent who understood her goals, Ilsa moved quickly and confidently toward homeownership. Zown's program not only helped her secure the upfront funds she needed but also sped up her timeline by years, enabling her to escape the increasing financial pressures of renting.
The Outcome
Without Zown: Ilsa would have continued renting, struggling to save as home prices soared further out of reach.
With Zown: On May 15, 2024, Ilsa moved into her detached home in Brantford with $10,200 of Zown's Upfront Down Payment. She now enjoys the stability and freedom of owning her own place, where she can paint the walls and invest in her future instead of throwing money away on rent.
